It looks like The
Wii is getting more hands on than you could ever imagine! Yes, straight from
Healthjockey.com, it seems that the
Wii can actually boost one's surgical skills. U.S research has shown that the
Wii helps surgeons in training with learning most of the important hand motions needed to excel in the field. The study also shows that more and more are surgeons playing the
Wii before a surgery. And yes, those surgeons performed about 50% better with performance and tool control than the ones that did not warm up with the little white box.
"The whole point about surgery is to execute small, finely controlled movement with your hands, and that is exactly what you get playing. But you don't gain a lot from swinging and imaginary tennis racket", says Dr. Kohel Banner of the Good Samaritan Medical Centre.
Thanks to the outcome of the
Wii in assistance of the surgeons, US Doctors are now making unique software for it. They hope that this will increase the surgeons' skills in the future. Trauma Center: Second Opinion, you might be in hospitals everywhere.
