Wii becomes a new tool for hospital rehab

"There are a lot of things Barbara Everlith can't do since she suffered a stroke. Grasping objects with her left hand doesn't come as easily as it used to. She can't stand or walk as steadily as she once did.

Connecticut Post's Amanda Cuba reports for the Associated Press that hospitals in the U.S. and Canada are incorporating the Wii into their physical therapy programs. (Culture, Industry, Wii, Wii Sports)
