Despite this flaw, Wii Fit can still be a very effective exercise game. The Wiimote can be used to perform exercises without the balance board. However, it is a good idea to have someone watch you mimic the exercises. In addition to that, the Wii Fit is fundamentally broken. There are detection problems that can make the game unreliable when the Wiimote is called into play. This means that it is very easy to cheat on Wii Fit. In these equations TR, TL, BR and BL are the force sensor values from the top right, top left, bottom right and bottom left corners of the WBB. This information, along with total downward force (i.e. vertical ground reaction force), is transmitted with minimal time lag to the Wii console via wireless (i.e. Bluetooth) technology.

(Date accessed online: December 26, 2009)http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/airplane/tunstraingage.html Use and acceptance of the Wii Fit as a balance assessment and neurorehabilitation tool is growing rapidly. With respect to assessment, initial attempts to use the WBB as a low cost proxy for a scientific force platform via customized software applications appear to be an extremely promising area of exploration. Research relying on measurement of balance ability using Wii Fit software-based metrics, however, has been far less convincing to date. With respect to balance neurorehabilitation, there is reason for optimism regarding the use of Wii Fit-based interventions to foster meaningful balance improvements across a variety of clinical populations. Multiple studies now show improvement in balance control following reasonable periods of training with the Wii Fit games and custom designed applications.

After several rounds of troubleshooting during which they ran through a few different-shaped prototypes, the team finally settled on a rectangular, step aerobics-like design equipped with load sensors to allow for greater accuracy [source: Casamassina]. In the interest of keeping costs down, the design team had originally intended for the board to be connected to the Wii Remote, through which it would wirelessly communicate with the console. Worried that users might accidentally step onto the remote or trip over it, the cord was nixed from the final model [source: Iwata: Board]. And thus the Wii Balance Board was born. Thanks to the Wii Balance Board and motion-sensing power of Wii, Wii Fit Plus makes it fun to experience exercise at home. As well as a huge variety of exercises, players can enjoy active gaming via 15 Training Plus games designed to offer a fun home workout for both mind and body. From taking part in a snowball fight to hitting the driving range, keep fit has never been so entertaining! Exercise routines built around you Triple Crown Championship Snowboarding". Destineer.
