Wii Technology Helps Brain Injuries

Neuroplasticity research shows that brain cells can sprout new neurons after brain injury-even with adults.  Vision rehabilitation, provided by optometrists trained in Vision Therapy, have been successfully treating the visual consequences after brain injury.  Visual symptoms include:

Difficulty with reading, blurred vision, double vision, visual spatial and balance difficulties, poor eye-hand coordination, decreased visual memory.

New Wii Technology, created by Dr. Allen Cohen from NY, provides a challenging but effective tool for vision rehabilitation.  Take a look at an interview regarding Dr. Cohen’s treatment.
