A new campaign has been started in which Aberdeen University and NHS Grampian are looking for Old Age Pensioners who have fallen at least once in last year. Thy will be provided with a Nintendo Wii complete with Wii Fit to improve their balance. Volunteers will be asked to attend regular sessions either at their home or at the Woodend hospital.

According to the researchers, this activity might help in improving the standard of life of those people who have been affected by osteoporosis. It might also reduce the hip fractures among old people caused mainly due to falls. The Wii balance board helping such people to exercise makes it a social tool also.
