Specialists believe that Wii will bring back the flexibility to damaged areas of burns victims and those with hand injuries and that most patients actually enjoy their treatment. They also feel that using the Wii is a way of extensively improving movement, while not seeing the activity as therapy, which helps motivate them. Wii can also be done at home, so patients are able to continue their own personal therapies.

Baljit Dheansa, specialist burns consultant at the unit, said: "Physiotherapy is a vital part of recovery from burns injuries, and if we can make that easier on the patients then it can only be a good thing."
