More and more I continue to hear about how good the Nintendo Wii is for everyone, from the elderly to youngsters used to sedentary games with other gaming systems.

But when a gaming system can help those disabled by a stroke, that's where curiosity ends and fascination starts. Stroke victims are reportedly using those motion-sensing controllers supplied with the Wii to mimic real-world actions in order to get that sense of balance back (among other things).

Who would have ever thought that playing virtual tennis would help stroke victims to help them physically rehabilitate themselves? And the uses for the Wii continue to impress.
