AOTA Associate Director Quoted on Wii
A USA Today article about a new Nintendo game called Wii Fit features a comment from the associate director of AOTA's Professional Development group, Laurel Cargill Radley, MS, OTR. Wii Fit is an offshoot of the popular Wii video game.
The article discusses Wii Fit, and the intent of its creator to make physical exercise more fun for people of all ages. Radley confirms that rehab clinics have used computer and video games for many years, but adds that the existing Wii video game "uses much more complex and much broader use of movement. … It's like a simulation machine."
