| Grampy said: I work at a large Medical School/Regional Medical Center with a large sports medicine department. I talked to the head and his reply was: -We see very few injuries related to Wii Fit and those we do see are quite minor. Tennis elbow, minor repetitive motion injury, occasion strains and one twisted ankel -We see hundreds of cases a week from people doing what he considers healthy (safe?) exercise including many from gyms, some serious and jogging which include numerous fractures often from people tripping, sometimes over their dogs leash and unfortunately many auto-pedestrian accidents, sometimes fatal -all exercise involves pushing the body so strains and injuries are inevitable - exercise of the fit is better directed, albeit with a virtual trainer, than most people have when doing traditional exercises -we recommend Wii Fit to many of our patients looking for light exercises to keep in shape and shed a few pounds - we use in here in rehabilitation with good success - I am familiar with the gentleman in question and do not take his opinion as authoritative in any way. He is more interested in publicity than anything else |
Very informative. It's refreshing to have comments from someone in the same field show WiiFit in a positive light.
Good post.
