Résumé :	In this issue, Rizzo et al. publish a preliminary study comparing the Nintendo WII to a conventional rehabilitation protocol for shoulder impingement syndrome. To our knowledge, this is the first study using a WII for shoulder rehabilitation ever published. The WII intervention led to significant improvements in shoulder range of motion, pain and disability and quality of life but not strength. In the control group, conventional therapy only significantly improved strength. The originality of this study was the use of the WII as an upper-limb training device that can be harmful for healthy subjects. The main limitation was the small sample size (n =14), with 50% attrition in the control group. We can consider that the high attrition rate in the control group may reinforce the interest of gaming, which favors the WII intervention.
