Wii Demonstrations
Wii video game systems have become increasingly popular at senior
centers, nursing homes and rehabilitation centers over the last few
years. The virtual games are easy and intuitive to use for all ages, and
can be particularly useful as an exercise and rehabilitation tool.
Because they are played using actual body movements, the games provide a
form of gentle, low-impact exercise that is ideal for people with
disabilities or a limited range of motion.
FLLS can provide a free Wii demonstration to any agency or group who serves our targeted outreach populations. We'll provide the video game system, games, and all necessary accessories - all you'll need is a TV. To schedule a demonstration, please contact Corinne Weible at 607-273-4074, ext. 228 or cweible@flls.org.
FLLS also has many Wii video games that can be requested through the
catalog and picked up at your local library.
To locate these materials in the catalog,

"Wii games" series.
