The document describes a serious game called Rehabilium for rehabilitation. Rehabilium uses a Wii balance board and makes standing exercise into a game where the player grows a virtual tree by standing. A study tested Rehabilium on 48 elderly patients and found it made exercise more enjoyable and increased motivation compared to self-training. Rehabilium was also found to be a usable and safe rehabilitation tool.

The equipment for stand-up exercises is
simple: a chair to sit on and a stable object
that the patient can grasp for support.
Stand-up exercises, Group therapy for
hemiplegic patients.
In a hospital, group stand-up exercises, which
usually stimulate patients toward greater effort,
can be done around a parallel bar.
