An investigation of the impact of regular use of the <scp>W</scp>ii <scp>F</scp>it to improve motor and psychosocial outcomes in children with movement difficulties: a pilot study

Abstract

This study provides preliminary evidence to support the use of the Wii Fit within therapeutic programmes for children with movement difficulties. This simple, popular intervention represents a plausible method to support children's motor and psychosocial development. It is not possible from our data to say which children are most likely to benefit from such a programme and particularly what the dose and duration should be. Further research is required to inform across these and other questions regarding the implementation of virtual reality technologies in therapeutic services for children with movement difficulties.
