Sessions were between 60 and 90 minutes in duration. Training was performed using the Wii sports games software, including boxing, tennis, bowling, and golf. He trained in both standing and sitting positions.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Outcomes<\/jats:title>\n Three main outcome measures were used: (1) visual-perceptual processing, using a motor-free perceptual test (Test of Visual Perceptual Skills, third edition); (2) postural control, using weight distribution and sway measures; and (3) functional mobility, using gait distance. Improvements in visual-perceptual processing, postural control, and functional mobility were measured after training.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Discussion and Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n The feasibility of using the system in the school-based setting during the summer session was supported. For this patient whose rehabilitation was augmented with the Wii, there were positive outcomes at the impairment and functional levels. Multiple hypotheses were proposed for the findings that may be the springboard for additional research. To the authors\u2019 knowledge, this is the first published report on using this particular low-cost, commercially available gaming technology for rehabilitation of a person with cerebral palsy.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2522\/ptj.20080062","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,8,8]],"date-time":"2008-08-08T21:06:09Z","timestamp":1218229569000},"page":"1196-1207","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":468,"title":["Use of a Low-Cost, Commercially Available Gaming Console (Wii) for Rehabilitation of an Adolescent With Cerebral Palsy"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"88","author":[{"given":"Judith E","family":"Deutsch","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"JE Deutsch, PT, PhD, is Professor and Director of the Rivers Lab, Doctoral Programs in Physical Therapy, Department of Rehabilitation and Movement Science, School of Health-Related Professions, University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, Stanley S.
