Wiihabilitation is so 2008 and, yes, Adrian Peterson of the NFLās Minnesota Vikings is doing some of that as he tries to come back from a devastating injury in American footballāthe torn anterior cruciate ligament. But whatās more interesting here is Peterson has a custom set of exergames to go along with ski jumping on the Wii balance board.
The team, in an official video, calls it āRehab Arcade.ā A couple minigames shown have Peterson playing a basic side-scroller and top-down scroller, moving a square block out of the way of some descending balls, or navigating a ball through a series of gates. His movement on the leg press controls movement in the game.
The video isnāt embeddable, youāll have to see it at the link. Itās somewhat fitting for the Vikings, who have notorious gamer Chris Kluwe (ChrisWarcraft on Twitter) on the roster, and for Peterson, who was introduced to Magic: the Gathering by Kluwe last year.
