Wii Fit Helps Parkinson's Disease Sufferers

Posted: 30 Dec 2010 01:57 PM PST

Friends Mark Davies and Becky Hurd from Worcester in England both suffer from Parkinson's disease, but are fighting back through the use of the Wii and Wii Fit.

Becky said "It gets you moving instinctively which is a problem with Parkinson's.

Often with movements you have to think a lot about what you are going to do and put a lot of effort in, but with the Wii you just seem to end up doing it.

I would recommend it to anyone with the disease and hopefully they will eventually bring out a specific programme for Parkinson's."
