I come from a scientific research background where you are expected to actually do a little research before shooting off your mouth and to provide some documentation.

Besides his cynical attitude to the story just pissed me off. If a $350 investment helps at all, what's the problem. And as far as cheaper ways to accomplish the same thing shows he knows nothing about the cost of physical therapy or the other instruments cost.

 

Not to mention the fact that a rehab regiment that people WANT to follow is priceless!

On the issue of balance equipment in the medical industry, there is equipment out there for balance testing. I don't know the details of the equipment but I can get you in contact with the reps that demo and sell the equipment to hospitals if you're interested.  Drop me a PM if you're interested.

I know, I have a picture of one of the most used in my post on page three plus I mention the other types of equipment and test. All of them cost a LOT more than $350.

Nice. :)

On a side note, why the HECK does every single so called 'non-gamer' I've ever heard talking about Wii Fit call it "The Wii Fit". It's not the Wii Fit. It's Wii Fit. Period. Where did they ever come up with that expression? THE Wii Fit, seriously, like, that doesn't even make sense. 'So what are you doing later?' 'Me? Oh nothing special, just playing the Wii Fit. You know, mine. It's better than yours, it's THE Wii Fit.'

LOL this reminds me of my friend who is a film student. He shot a short film of him going into a gym and looking around every area of it, then going to the counter and saying "Where is the Wii Fit?? I want to use the Wii Fit". The guy behind the counter is like "we dont have it", and they go into this argument about gyms having "the Wii Fit", kinda tongue in cheek humor. ironically, a short while after the video was made, gyms started carrying Wii Fit.

Hell if it wasnt for Wii Fit, id be about 12 lbs heavier and barely ever exercise. =)

 

 

Wii helps the paralized walk.
PS3 help cures cancer.
DS will help you quit smoking.

Where is you contibution to society Microsoft?  It looks like the 360 has some work to do.

 

 

In other news, Microsoft has announced a 360 exclusive game, were you give people AIDS...

nintendo should me proud of themselves.. look at what they´re doing, they helped a little girl to walk again.. that´s freaking incredible



Nintendo is a constant in life. Nintendo is the place where you can always go to have a great time, whether that is alone or together with friends. Nintendo made dozens of all time classics which are more than just amazing games. Nintendo is a gaming company. Nintendo raised our sorry asses better than a parent ever could. Nintendo is a religion. Nintendo is what drove gaming forward and what continues to drive gaming forward. Nintendo saved gaming in the '80s. Nintendo is saving gaming again right now.
