The device I would like to look at is the nintendo Wii game for stroke rehabilitation.
On line through the Noel Leeming web site a wii console can be purchased from $129.99 with a 'friend and fun pack'. Then in addition a 'sports and sports resort pack' brings the price to $379.99.
Features
* Bundle includes:
* Wii Sports game with Wii Sports Resort
* Wii Remote Plus with Wii Nunchuk and Sensor Bar

This video below is a demonstration of how Nintendo Wii gaming consoles have helped individuals do through rehabilitation after experiencing a stroke. By using this console it distracts the patients. distracts them from the fact that the movements are boring and repetitive, its also exciting and the stimulation helps the patients forget they are getting tired from the exercise. Pushing their rehab further and achieving better results.

Stroke Patients Being Helped By Nintendo Wii

In this final tutorial we are asked for a definition of assistive technology, and to introduce one piece of assistive technology and its use.
Cook and Hussy (1995) mentioned that assistive technology is "any piece of equipment or product system whether acquired commercially off the shelf, modified or customised that is used to increase or improve functional capabilities of individuals with disabilities". and that its functional outcome can really only be measured by it's success.
pretty self explanatory really..
