Nintendo Wii Accessories designed to improve balance

After a few years (or maybe even months) of gaming, you’ve probably managed to collect a healthy collection of peripherals, especially if you’re using a Nintendo Wii. Cause there a lot of Nintendo Wii Accessories.

The Wii differs from other home entertainment computer systems because players must perform the physical action required by the game they are playing.

When they hold the Xbox 360 Controller in their hand and mime hitting a tennis ball or punching a punch bag, the virtual ball or bag on the screen is set into motion.

The university’s experts believe the device could help frail elderly people by allowing them to become more active without taking the risks involved in getting out and about.

They are looking specifically at the Wii Fit, a version of the software which has games and Nintendo Wii Accessories designed to improve balance.

It is all about improving people’s quality of life and wellbeing so they have more confidence.

The Wii is already a popular tool in many homes for the elderly, due to the benefits of staying active.
