Used for assessing your Standing Balance

The Wii Balance Board called sometimes "Wii Fitness Board" is a balance board accessory for Nintendo's Wii video game console introduced on July 11, 2007. It is a pressure-sensitive controller designed for exercises.

The Balance Board can be used with Wii Fit Software to reduce body weight while having fun at the same time. Together with Wii Fit Software you will discover a new and unusual fitness program game that is getting more popular every day.

It is said by science and medical industries that the Wii Balance Board has the ability to assess the standing balance of a patient. Doctors use devices similar to the Wii Balance Board to measure the balance of a person recovering from a stroke when the patient is "relearning" how to walk. But those devices normally cost around $20,000.

Scientist from the University of Melbourne found after intensive testing that the Wii Balance Board is nearly as good as the expensive devices and are interested to implement it in helping patients with injuries. The Balance Board measures acute changes in your weight distribution.

Many games will evolve around the use of the Wii Balance Board in the future.
