Lots of people have been talking about the Wii Fit, which came out at the end of May in North America. While the popularity has been great for Nintendo, it’s certainly made it difficult for any Wii fans to get the newest Wii peripheral.

That hasn’t stopped people from using the Wii Fit to some creative ends however. Injured athletes, for example, are getting rehabilitated by using the balance board. Doing the tedious and repetitive exercises required by rehab is a bit more fun when you can make it a game.

Other people have tried using the Wii Fit as an exercise tool — with varying success. Others have even wondered if the Wii Fit could be used to retrain the balance systems of people suffering from balance disorders.

I just hope I can get one soon to try it out!
