Games
With the growing spectrum of games on the
market it is difficult to know where to go next for rehab friendly games. Wii
Sports, Wii Fit and Wii Play are obvious starting points but there are many
games out their, certainly for the younger population, that have excellent
qualities to promote specific aspects of exercise, movement, co-ordination
amongst others.
Having a variety of games to play on the Wii as part of
therapy can keep the interest of those using it for longer, especially with
children or young adults, but finding a Wii game that is accessible, if
movements or skills are limited can be a costly process in terms of trial and
error. This page, and pages linked from here aim to offer an overview as to a
variety of games, their accessibility to limited movements and their
contributions to any therapy programmes that a person may be working
towards.

therapy read on.
Click on images for Rehab Review
The reviews of the games have been compiled from the point of view of their potential to aid improvement, as part of a rehabilitation programme. Only the basic areas of the games have been explored so where games 'unlock' new levels, sports or activities these have not been included, but may be added in the future.
Within each review you will find a synopsis of the game plus a breakdown the games controls starting with the easiest (point & move) and onwards to the more complex controls.
You will also find indications of the level of activity or function required to access the game successfully.
Downloadable versions of the instructions
are available upon request.
Updates and new game additions uploaded to this page will be published in the side
panel.
