This course is a live demonstration provided by Sandy Garver, PT, MPT.  Sandy demonstrates not only the Wii Fit, but also the Wii Sports activities, while performing live therapy treatment on one of her patients.

This a beginner level course.

Using the Wii in the Clinic:

• offers resources and background on the whole-body-system concept
• provides detailed instruction on the components of the Wii Fit, and the Wii Sports activities
• demonstrates how to modify treatment using secondary equipment
• highlights how to identify patient improvement for use in documentation
• and much more!

Because this is a demonstration, the course is offered only in video format.  It consists of 6 chapters.

This is the fourth course in the series; however, due to several requests this course will not require prerequisites.

Course IV is a live demonstration provided by Laura Vielma, PT, CHT to provide step-by-step instructions for making two types of custom splints for the treatment of CTS.  In this course Laura discusses how to create the custom pattern, types of splints materials, techniques that make splint-making a little easier, and many other useful tips.

It is probably best to watch the video.  The paper version is a transcript of the video with added visual directions and an abundance of pictures taken directly from the video.

We want to thank Laura Vielma, PT, CHT, and Round Rock Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation for this course.

Chapter 4

Chapter 4 is about patient intentions.  But first, we start with a short quiz to determine your intentions.  Do you really plan to use the skills you’ve just learned in this course?  Will these new techniques really work?  Take the quiz and find out what you really think.

Then, learn how attributes like patient attitude, the patient’s perception of value, and perceived control can influence the patient — and simple techniques you can use to inspire change.
