With the increasing use of the Nintendo Wii in rehabilitation, physiotherapist Rebecca Redmond has created a website named Wii-Habilitation as a source of information for therapists.
The Wiihabilitation site is mainly based on Ms Redmond’s own experience of using the Wii in her role as senior physiotherapist at the National Star College, a residential further education school for disabled 16-25 year olds in Cheltenham.
She has included information on the games she uses with students, along with research and news stories she has found relating to Wii and rehabilitation, which she updates regularly. ‘It’s not exhaustive and it doesn’t need to be only my work – I’m very happy to have contributions – but it’s a good place to start,’ she said.
