Wii Fit at home for balance and mobility in children with cerebral palsy

In this recent research article Balance and mobility training at home using Wii Fit in children with cerebral palsy: a feasibility study, authors used Wii Fit to see if it might be an option for patients with CP as an at-home device to improve mobility and balance.

At first glance playing Wii Fit seems to have been well received and safe to use at home. As I get a hold of the rest of the paper, I will update this post.

Play Clock Yourself for Better Balance

Clock Yourself is an app-based exergame developed by Megan Lowry a physiotherpist from Australia to help her clients move their bodies and mind better. Seeking a solution to combine cognitive processing with locomotor skills (performance or rehabilitation), she co-founded Clock Yourself with Dave Wallace.

In five stages the Clock Yourself app introduces progressively complex activities to train us to think on our feet and to react quickly with our bodies.

I have not actually used the app yet, but will be getting a code shortly to give it a more thorough review.
