.. I’ve seen on the news that Wii is a good physical therapy tool, so I’m wondering if anyone has experience with this.

I have a relative with Parkinsons and has limited, but functional movements.

      Well… it’s very hard to answer that question… but… I guess super mario galaxy would be good because there is no real “get up and move around” activity in it. All it is is shaking the contoller… pressing the “A” and “B” buttons… and moving your character with the numchuck. If this doesn’t help you then I’m sorry. It must be very hard on him.

      That pretty much reduces you to the casual games or the Virtual Console games. I don’t think there is a Wii game that would be a good idea.
      Super Paper Mario has almost no Wii-movements.
      Fire Emblem is basically a Gamecube game on Wii.

      For games with actual movements it is best to stick with Wii Sports and Wii Play. Aside from Boxing, all of these games only require short spurts of movement. These are also the only games i know the medical industry has ever used.

      when Wii Fit comes out, that will also be another really good idea. It will bring his whole body into it, but not too demanding.
