From canada.com:

For patients on Unit 58 at the Foothills Medical Centre, rehab can be fun and games.

The unit, home of the centre’s Tertiary Neuro Rehab Program, utilizes a Nintendo Wii video game system as part of its rehabilitation efforts for patients with brain and spinal cord injuries, those who have suffered strokes and others with different neurological diagnoses.

Andy Ganden, a recreational therapist on the unit, says the Wii is just one of many tools used for rehab but adds it’s a valuable one.
