1. Why do you think Wii gaming has appeal to people who are not traditionally video game players?
As showen in the video clip, Wii is not a regular gaming system. It enables you to get up from the couch and play the game like you are really there. It is also an alternative exercise to the regular exercises taught by physios and OT's post surgery. The participants in this clip say "its tremendous in what it can do for you". Wii allows them to engage in sports they once played but can no longer like bowling, golf, and boxing.
2. The relevance of Wii to OT
Wii is relevant to OT practice as it can be used as an alternative interventions that can help clients to improve functional and cognitive ability. Wii is a good hands on approach which is fun, exciting and a bit different for clients to participate in.
