Guitar Hero Helps Burn Victims
Here’s another Wii-hab story, this one out of William Randolph Hearst Burn Center at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center where therapists are adapting the Wii for burn victim rehabilitation. Burned skin and grafts require movement and stretching, although this is painful. Therapists have found using motion sensitive games for the Wii help patients to move more. Guitar Hero III is used to get patients to move their arms and upper torso.
