Some Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivors are getting rehabilitation in an unconventional way: Wii Fit. TBI patients can now use the Wii Fit balance board and special glasses in conjunction with a new software program to help them with their balance, vision and hand-eye coordination problems. However, this therapy regimen must be completed every single day, both at the rehab facility and at home, in order for it to work. Patients can start seeing results in approximately 20 sessions.

Traditional Occupational/ Physical therapy provides the patient task orientated training (TOT) in the form of intensive repetition of everyday functional or active daily living tasks. Motor/ sensory feedback from the result of the task allows correction in the planning, initialization and performance of the task and assists in rehabilitation. At the same time the intensive preformance of these tasks will improve movement ability e.g strength and range of motion. Of course it is essential that the patient remains motivated and challenged to continue exercising. Commercial games e.g Wii provide interest and the challenge to continue gross motor movement fitness, strength and balance exercises. The HandTutor is a dedicated rehabilitation glove and software that gives isolatted and co-ordinated finger exercises and the challenging games and biofeedback provides patients with the motivation to continue intensive repetitive fine motor finger and wrist exercises.
