Nintendo Wii may help treat symptoms of Parkinson’s disease including depression, according to Dr. Ben Herz.
Dr. Herz conducted a pilot study with 20 Parkinson’s patients and by the end of the eight-week study, patients saw improvements in movements, fine motor skills, energy levels, rigidity and patients’ depression levels went down to zero once they started treatment with the Wii.
Dr. Herz believes that video game consoles are “the future of rehab”. http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/newsArt.cfm?artid=18909
