Below are some traditional and rehab specific games and what they can do for physical therapists in their work. The Hand Rehabilitation System: Rutgers engineers actually modified an Xbox gaming console as well as an Essential Reality P5 glove controller to help rehabilitate post stroke patients.
This new virtual reality system helps detect finger and wrist motions to manipulate on-screen images. Walking Improvement: This game invented by Kari Dunning helps stroke victims learn and improve their walking skills. Game Wheels : This interactive video helps patients with spinal cord injuries, making it interesting for them to play physically active games. Cyber Learning Technology : This video game method includes using car racing, and other video games that improve neuro-hand coordination.
The following are games that adapt well to the needs of any physical therapist assistant. Games that promote self esteem, work with speech or work on a special technique are also beneficial for patients as they tend to have higher self esteem, better speech patterns and learn new activities through the use of video games. Using video game consoles in physical rehabilitation programs is fairly easy and many games will adapt to the patients needs. Topic Archived Page 1 of 2 Last.

They plays Wii games together not just for fun, but helping to train their son's coordination and movement. But we have trouble finding games that can be played just by tilting the Wiimote, not pressing buttons or using the nunchuck. Any child-friendly game like this would be fine. FeiBenares 8 years ago 2. Wii Play Wii Sports series. Rythmn Heaven Fever. Wii Play: Motion has a couple minigames I can think of. Treasure Twirl, Pose Mii Plus, Cone Zone which has the player balancing ice cream scoops and also making the biggest soft serve cone you can, and Teeter Targets which is very pinballish yet doesn't use buttons for flippers you just tilt the remote to fling a ball towards targets.
You could probably find the game cheap but it does require the motion plus accessory but a new copy will have bundled with it. Flingsmash is another game that might work.
It also comes bundled with the motion plus accessory which is required for the game. The player is tasked with moving the character around obstacles using just the thrust of the wiimote.
It might be a little difficult though. My fake plants died because I didn't pretend to water them. HerPanda 8 years ago 5. Rythmn Heaven Fever He's asking for movement games without button presses, not games with only button presses. TC, this game is almost all just pressing A and B to a beat, little to no movement Believe it or not, what you're asking for is pretty difficult to pin point a few games for!
There are some rail shooters that are mostly just point and click, but they might be a little too "mature" Resident Evil games, House of the Dead. Zak and Wiki is a point and click game, but he might have to do a bit of clicking I haven't played it much myself, but it's a puzzle game. Cooking Mama The level of play can also be adjusted to accommodate the abilities of users. They are not just sitting there watching something; they are actually engaged.
A recent study from the U. Administrator Carole Shaw brought the game to the center after reading about how seniors were using it as a popular form of physical and mental exercise. Shaw said. Jeffrey M. Among those activities are pet therapy, in which specially trained cats, dogs, rabbits and other pets are brought into senior centers; music therapy; cooking; and gardening sessions.
