Abstract
The use of the Nintendo Wii™ gaming system in a rehabilitative capacity is emerging in physical therapy rehabilitation journals and in news articles and releases from rehabilitation departments and centers across the world (Deutsch, Borbely, Filler, Huhn, & Guarrera-Bowlby, 2008; Tanner, 2008; Coyne, 2008). The incorporation of an Aphasia Wii™ Group at a community based aphasia center is examined. Systematic observation of aphasia groups using the Wii™ Sports game demonstrates that it provides opportunities for a variety of communicative acts and psychosocial benefits. Qualitative methods are used to analyze and discuss identified benefits, and areas for further research are identified.
