Playing Games
Playing Games By Tamara Mitchell Image courtesy of TheWireCutter.com Do you or your kids play computer games? Playing computer games has been shown to increase your chances of developing repetitive strain injury, or RSI. Considering the number of games sold, reported injury rates are relatively low, but they are related to the type of controller used and the number of hours games are played.1 Wii games are the only ones that have a majority of traumatic, rather than repetitive strain injuries due to strenuous full-body movements. When the player is distracted from their surroundings, impact with other objects or people, as well as loss of balance may occur.1 Judging from the number of comments on gaming blogs and gaming YouTube videos, it is likely that the occurrence of RSI is under-reported in medical records to some extent. Nobody likes to admit they are having issues with pain, especially when it involves a passionate hobby. We are not going to tell you to stop playing unless you are experiencing advanced symptoms. But there are things you should always do to greatly reduce the probability of injury. Make a few changes and you will be doing yourself and your gaming kids a huge favor by actually extending the number of years you’ll be able to enjoy playing. Most gaming is very mouse or control oriented. We caution people in the office environment to avoid the mouse as much as possible by learning keyboard shortcuts to perform many application-related actions. In gaming, this is not an option.

You will be in the centre of your entertainment, using the best controller ever made — you,” said Kudo Tsunoda, creative director for Microsoft Game Studios.
