In today’s day and age, it’s a wonder that we haven’t brought video games more into the health field. Apparently, researchers at the University of Sydney felt that way, because they performed a study which found that video games can help sufferers of chronic lower back pain. Healthline says the study was the first of its kind, allowing researchers to examine the positive effects of Nintendo’s Wii Fit U on adults over the age of 55 and suffering from chronic lower back pain. The results of the study, which proved that the use of Wii Fit U helped patients continue at-home physical therapy to ease the pain, were published in the American Physical Therapy Association’s journal, Physical Therapy on September 20.
