Barry Brewer, who had his hip replacement operation at Mercy Fairfield Hospital, is undergoing rehab with tennis and bowling in Wii Sports instead of going everyday to the gymnasium.

This rehabilitation program is new to the hospital, as they're giving the Wii a try for the sake of their patients.

Craig Shmidt, director of clinical support services at Mercy Fairfield, had this to say about the rehabilitation program:

They can work on balance and weight-bearing standing, plus have a little competition mixed in. I'd like to see it as a staple of our rehab program. Really what we want to do is market the experience. They're going to have an atmosphere that's friendly, that's fun and where they can go back to their normal life.
