The concept has been discussed a number of times, one of the greatest difficulties is getting funding for 'a new idea', or in other words, 'a new piece of equipment'. I have offered to trial the equipment - but no-one has taken this up yet! :( |

The Wii Balance Board is quite an awesome little attachment, I've been quite impressed by it :) |

| 837264 | 2009-12-12 10:21:00 | I have a wii and it is great for my mobility and co-ordination (had a major whiplash injury 25 years ago) However there is a recent report published by NZ surgeon saying mant more accidents are showing up with seniors acting like juniors and breaking limbs . Had a wii partu a while ago ..one guy got so carried away he whacked my laptop with the wii remote and sent it flying !! A quick flick of the wrist is all that is needed to put in some power movements.. |
