Wii Fit Diagnoses, Treats, Parkinson's

By , About.com GuideJanuary 14, 2011

Follow me on:

I don't know much about Parkinson's Disease, but two recent stories have reported an interesting helpful relationship between the disease and playing Wii Fit.  The Escapist reports that one woman began to suspect she had a medical issue when she had difficulties balancing while playing Wii Fit; turns out she had Parkinson's.  It's lucky she's got Wii Fit, though, because an entirely unconnected story in the Daily Mail features a woman who has found playing the game has 'massively improved' her symptoms.

Wii Fit may not be everyone's favorite game, but how many people treat their diseases playing Halo?
