New Technology in Physical Therapy: Nintendo Wii Northeastern University

Overview Introduction Treatment Objectives Physical, occupational, neurological rehab Which health care professionals use WiiFit? Which patients use WiiFit? Wii Golf Wii Balance Board Arthritis Total Knee Replacement Case Study How is WiiFit helpful?

Introduction When it comes to technology in physical therapy, there have been some exciting new advances in the field. Innovations in physical therapy technology serve to shorten patients healing times, increase comfort levels, and improve the overall level of care. Some of the newest technology devices used by physical therapists includes the Nintendo Wii. The Wii aids patients in recovery and is used by therapists in physical, neurological, and occupational rehabilitation. Source: http://www.ducksters.com/games/wii-sports-golf.php

Visual-perceptual processing Treatment Objectives Visual-perceptual processing Postural control Functional mobility

Physical, occupational, neurological rehab Balance/movement: common concerns for those recovering from brain injuries/strokes Range of motion Motor skills Gross motor coordination: walking/lifting Endurance Strength Source: http://blog.chron.com/armedsources/2010/04/veterans-use-nintendo-wii-as-physical-therapy-tool/

Wii is used by… Physical Therapists: Occupational Therapists: Physical Therapists can tailor patient sessions to avoid overuse common with Wii’s simulated sports. They can also better explain center of gravity through the use of Nintendo Wii and help patients use that knowledge, as the Wii Fit allows patients to see how they affect the game when they change their balance. Occupational Therapists: Occupational therapists use the Wii to help patients relearn daily living skills such as getting dressed Source: http://blog.cleveland.com/lifestyles/2008/06/wii_fit_nintendo_game_makes_ph.html

Wii-hab for what type of patients? Stroke Arthritis Combat injuries Broken Bones Lower extremeties Upper extremeties Surgery Burn injuries

Nintendo Wii Golf Patient swings wireless hand-held motion-sensitive wand Animated screens stimulate holes on a course Ease in coaxing patients into movements that could have taken more time to achieve in the traditional manner Scoring provides immediate feedback to patients Hula hooping, boxing, ring toss, and bowling are other commonly played games in wiihabilitation Source: https://resnet.gatech.edu/GAMINGSYSTEMS/Pages/wii.aspx

WiiFit Balance Board Vestibular therapy Board’s sensors record foot and leg movements Provide visual stimulation while simultaneously challenging balance Program choices include lateral weight shifting games, static/dynamic postural control, and multidirectional balance games Source: http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/19/wii-balance-board-decent-for-measuring-equilibrium-medical-stu/

WiiFit Balance Board Lateral Weight Shifting Multidirectional balance Tightrope walk- Patients stay balanced when walking and jumping over obstacles while experiencing visual distractions such as birds flying by. The sharp turns necessitate increased pressure on the side towards the side which the user wishes the character to turn. Multidirectional balance Table Tilt- This requires refined weight shifts in which the user is required to apply pressure to the balance board which move marbles across a board and into holes. Static/Dynamic Postural Control Deep breathing- The user stands still on the balance board and takes slow deep breaths while a tracking dot is displayed showing the user’s center of gravity and weight distribution. The user is encouraged to guide the tracking dot into the center of a given target to achieve optimal postural alignment and even weight distribution between the right and left sides

Helps With Arthritis Physical activity maintains a healthy and active life Helps bone structure: movement of joints promotes strength by stretching tendons and muscles Source: http://www.knowabouthealth.com/play-nintendo-wii-to-stay-fit/1260/

Case Study: Total Knee Replacement Setting: Outpatient department of a rehabilitation hospital Participants: Adult outpatients following total knee replacement Interventions: The study group receieved a physiotherapy session followed by 15 minutes of Wii Fit activities. The games encouraged lateral and multidirectional weight shifting, and provided visual feedback regarding postural balance. The control group received a physiotherapy session followed by 15 minutes of lower extremity strengthening and balance training exercises Main outcome measures: 2-minute walk test, knee range of motion, timed standing, activity-specific balance confidence scale

Case Study: Total Knee Replacement Conclusions: Wii fit is potentially acceptable as an adjunct to physiotherapy intervention for outpatients following total knee replacement, provided that the games chosen challenge balance and postural control and use the lower extremities. However further research is needed to establish whether video games as therapy adjunct increase patient motivation and compliance with rehabilitation goals.

How is WiiFit helpful? The WiiFit is helpful in rehablitation because it is an engaging and fun way for patients to do exercises, and allows them to stay active. Sometimes, normal physical therapy exercises can be boring for patients to do repetitively. Patients are more willing to practice and maintain repetition if an activity is entertaining. The Wii connects learning, practice, and repetition. If patients have the Wii at home, it makes it easy for them to do their exercises on their own. Games may also be shared with family members to add to the enjoyment level. The Wii speeds up recovery time, and patients may be able to walk longer and increase their standing time. It may reduce risk of falls in elderly patients.
