Abstract
Objective: To determine if the Nintendo Wii Fit is an acceptable adjunct to the rehabilitation therapy of outpatients following total knee replacement. Design: Randomized controlled trial. Setting: Outpatient clinic in a rehabilitation hospital. Participants: 30 outpatients following total knee replacements were randomly assigned to either a video game (VG) group (n=18) or an additional exercise (AE) group (n=12) for 15 minutes following their scheduled physiotherapy (PT) session, twice weekly.
