Barry Brewer, who had his hip replacement operation at Mercy Fairfield Hospital, is undergoing rehab with tennis and bowling in Wii Sports instead of going everyday to the gymnasium.
This rehabilitation program is new to the hospital, as they’re giving the Wii a try for the sake of their patients.
Craig Shmidt, director of clinical support services at Mercy Fairfield, had this to say about the rehabilitation program:
They can work on balance and weight-bearing standing, plus have a little competition mixed in. I’d like to see it as a staple of our rehab program. Really what we want to do is market the experience. They’re going to have an atmosphere that’s friendly, that’s fun and where they can go back to their normal life.
Even stroke patients could benefit from the gaming console. Steve Pager, director of the neuromotor rehabilitation and recovery laboratory at Drake Center, said, “Among all stroke survivors, only about 20 percent (regain) sufficient finger control such that they could extend and flex a single finger and control a button on the Wii.”
With the benefits that the Wii is offering to rehabilitation, the Wii and its games will become even more popular to patients and hospitals in the future.
I’d just like to wish you all a very merry Christmas.
Hope you enjoy yourself this Christmas, have lots of fun and possible gaming action!

After the news of Dark AleX working on 3.80 M33 CFW spread like wildfire throughout the Internet, a related rumor started to circulate throughout the information tubes. According to this interesting tidbit, DAX will release the 3.80 M33 CFW on December 24.
A poster from a gaming related forum reportedly saw Dark AleX posting “I will be releasing 3.80 M33 the 24th December” in an IRC channel. However, homebrew developer Mathieulh gunned down the rumor (and possibly dashing the hopes of PSP users hoping for an early release in the process), saying that the Dark AleX who posted that statement through IRC is most likely a fake, and explained that the real DAX wouldn’t show up in public IRC servers, “for obvious reasons.”
Well, there you have it. While we won’t get the 3.80 M33 CFW just in time for Christmas, at least we know that it’s already being worked on. More updates to come!
