Physical therapy is boring — play a game instead

TED
Cosmin Mihaiu:Physical therapy is boring — play a game instead
Summary
Physical therapy is a process of doing a suite of repetitive exercises in order to regain the range of movement lost due to an accident or injury. It is very important for patients though it is boring and painful. It takes a long time to get a better result. They lack the motivation to do it but they don't do their exercises, therefore, it takes a lot longer to get better.  The speaker thought it wouldn't be interesting if patients could play their way to recovery. Then, he developed a software with geeks and his physical therapist. It can transform traditional exercises into video games  through a motion capture camera or etc. It can easily and happily gives patients a good motivation to do exercise and it is very customizable also. Now, the games are used in some clinics. By using it and following this treatment way, patients will get better earlier.
◆Viewpoints&Discussion
1. When you are hurt, what do you usually do?
 I want to work as much as possible if I am hurt.  I didn't think that I want to be absent in my work.
2. If physiotherapy is suggested by your doctor, are you going to follow all the procedures? Will you do it properly and seriously?
Yes, I do. It is because I want to recover as early as possible.
Yes, I will do and look for another way to recover faster.
3. What do you think of this idea? Why?
I think this is a good idea, because it can change something that is boring and the lack motivation to do. Also, to be able to do easily and fun. I think that it also needs to study English. It enjoys studying and is able to continue something for a long time.
