I thought I would share an interesting article published earlier today on
PadGadget,
Stroke Patients Rehabilitate with Fruit Ninja for iPad. This article discusses how certain iPad and Wii games provide a new form of physical exercise required by recovering stroke patients. iOS game apps like
Fruit Ninja, which require a combination of gestures or movements help to improve fine motor skills. Although such apps are designed for entertainment, it seems like there is an emerging trend of re-purposing such apps given their medical and/or therapeutic benefits.
Which iOS apps or Wii games have you re-purposed for use with your children or students? I will share my list of re-purposed apps later in another post this week!
