If you were to have told me in November that Wii Sports boxing would be helping a stroke victim get back into the real ring I would have laughed out loud. I think a lot of people would have done the same. Wii Sports was a watershed moment for the gaming industry at the time, but it was by no means a panacea for anything but gaming. Or was it? Today we learn that the doctors at the Glenrose Rehabil...
