Wii-HAB for Ohio Veterans flyer
The Nintendo Wii (pronounced “we”) game is fast becoming a tool used in rehabilitation in many medical centers and hospitals across the country. It is useful in occupational therapy, which helps patients relearn daily living skills including brushing teeth, combing hair and fastening clothes. The therapy is well-suited to patients injured during combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, who tend to be in the 19 to 25 age range---a group that’s into playing video games. Wii gets them moving. It’s also great for motivating sensory stimulation. Playing the game makes painful and boring therapy sessions fun. Therapists see the game benefiting patients with nearly any kind of injury, including patients with traumatic brain injuries.
I would like to place Wii consoles and controllers at each of the Ohio Veterans Homes and VA Facilities within Ohio. PLEASE HELP ME HELP OUR VETERANS BY SUPPORTING THIS PROJECT.
