Doctors Use Wii Games for Rehab Therapy

Except the diet of food, I suggest people who want to lose weight should have more exercises to burn the extra calories. Averagely, the figure as I was－183 centimeters tall, 105 weight－needs 2000 calories input a day. I can not do many activities as normal people do; therefore, my parents bought the exercising equipments as the therapists have offered to help me exercise at home. I love to play Wii－occupational therapy when I was in the hospital and back home. Playing and rehabilitating at the same time; moreover, Wii helps me lose weight, too.
Therefore, I would like to introduce you an article “Doctors Use Wii Games for Rehab Therapy” By Lindsey Tanner, from The Associated Press, February 9, 2008.

Here is the summary of the article:
"Wii habilitation."－ Nintendo's Wii video game system becomes popular. It is not only the teen TV games but also becomes a trend in rehab therapy for patients recovering from strokes, broken bones, surgery and even combat injuries.
The traditional physical therapy: stretching and lifting exercises－painful, repetitive and boring－but they help the sick or injured regain their strength, and they have to do them. To tell the truth, many patients think PT (physical therapy) really is a “pain and torture”, said James Osborn who works at Herrin Hospital Illinois.
