The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of interactive
games played on a Nintendo Wii on postural control, motor function and
functional independence of chronic stroke patients. [Subjects and
Methods] Twenty chronic stroke patients were recruited for this study.
The subjects were randomly divided into experimental and control groups.
The experimental group played interactive games using the Nintendo Wii
for 30 minutes a day, 3 times a week, for 3 weeks, whereas the control
group did not play interactive games. Result measures included the
postural assessment scale, the modified motor assessment scale and the
functional independence measure. [Results] There were significant
differences in the postural assessment scale and modified motor
assessment scale scores of both groups after the intervention, and
between the control group and the experimental group after the
intervention. However, there were no significant differences in
functional independence measure scores. [Conclusion] An interactive game
played on a Nintendo Wii appears to be an effective intervention for
improvement of chronic stroke patients’ functional results. Therefore,
research into the most effective type of Wii game and the clinical
significance should continue.
