Just recently, Wii’s guitar hero is being studied by an occupational therapist as a form of healing for those whose arms have been heavily damaged. There are a lot of movements in the game itself that would make the patient move his arms freely and steadily. The therapist suggests that they should tell the patient that his hands and arms will not be as flexible as it used to be and then let them play guitar hero on that note.

It was worth a shot since guitar hero is really a great game and employs a lot of movement by the arms and hands. It is highly enjoyable and what is to lose right? I could remember the time when I sprained my ankle in a basketball game. I had to rest it for a couple of days and to regain my foot back, I had to play Dance Revolution of playstation. It worked well! So I think Guitar Hero has a shot in reestablishing movement in the arms and hands.
