Stephanie Ho suffered a stroke in 2010, when she was just 22 years old, as a result of a congenital defect in the blood vessels of her brain. The stroke affected the left side of her brain, leaving her unable to move her right arm and hand.
Stephanie was invited to participate in a study at Neuroscience Research Australia, led by Dr Penelope McNulty, on the use of Nintendo Wii to improve recovery after stroke.

The real question is whether older stroke patients can also benefit from the Wii. It's great that a 22-year-old was able to benefit, but will older patients who never grew up with video games be able to use the Wii as well?
