The Good Side of Video Games

Video games made by Wii help burnt victims to move. How is this possible? By playing the video games, the burnt victims’ skin grafts stretch as discovered by doctors. Skin grafts are used to heal damaged areas of the body. The moving and stretching of skin is important to keep grafts as pliable as the skin around them. Patients would have to go through painful rehabilitation exercises, were it not for video games. Their minds are also kept off the discomfort as they are having fun (“WII KEEPS BURNS VICTIMS MOVING”).
