Wii Fit Helps Paralyzed Girl Walk Again

A 10-year-old girl left paralyzed by a virus four years ago is learning to walk again thanks to her doctors and a copy of Wii Fit, Ireland’s Herald.ie writes.

The girl took her first steps in four years at a New York hospital late last year. Now, back in her home town of Wexford, Ireland, the gril uses Wii Fit to help strengthen her legs and regain her balance.

ā€œThe Wii Fit has really helped. It’s great because there are so many balancing and stretching exercises on it,ā€ said the girl’s mom. ā€œThe Wii has taken an awful lot of pressure off her as well.ā€

What a neat story, maybe I should pull my Balance Board out from under the couch and give it another whirl.
