14. CNT.. What are the Most Common Video Game Injuries? The most common video game injuries we see are  gamer’s thumb, carpal tunnel syndrome, and tennis elbow . However , the world of video games is more expansive than just console games. Doug breaks common video game injuries into 4 main categories: Console video game injuries . These are the most common injuries that bring gamers into the clinic. Most common injuries include gamer’s thumb and tennis elbow. Computer video game injuries . These injuries are consistent with desk-job injuries, with carpal tunnel syndrome being the most common. Wii Sports & active video game injuries . It’s true; you can develop the same injuries as tennis, soccer, bowling, etc. by playing the e-sport equivalent. We encourage active game players to follow the same prevention techniques as athletes playing that sport. Make sure to warm up properly, keep good form (yes, really!), and keep up strength and mobility work. And remember to take a break since you won’t get as winded or play as long as if you were really playing the sport. Virtual reality video game injuries . Virtual reality has opened up a whole new world of video game experience where players are fully immersed in the game. While doing this, faces and eyes are covered, and players are unable to see what’s around them. There has since been a surge in falls and acute injuries in virtual reality players that we’ve seen in our clinics.

15. Gamer's Thumb (De Quervain's Tenosynovitis ) Overview Gamer's Thumb , medically known as De Quervain's Tenosynovitis , is a common injury among gamers caused by repetitive strain on the tendons in the thumb. This condition occurs when the tendons around the base of the thumb become irritated or inflamed, leading to pain and swelling . Causes of Gamer's Thumb: Repetitive Motion: Constant use of the thumb for gaming, particularly for actions like pressing buttons, using a joystick, or swiping on a touchscreen . Extended Gaming Sessions: Long hours of gaming without adequate breaks can exacerbate the strain on the thumb. Improper Grip or Posture: Holding a controller, mouse, or mobile device in a way that puts stress on the thumb can contribute to the injury . Symptoms of Gamer's Thumb: Pain: Aching pain at the base of the thumb, which may radiate up the wrist and forearm. Swelling: Noticeable swelling around the thumb and wrist area. Difficulty Moving the Thumb: Stiffness or a feeling of "catching" when moving the thumb. Weak Grip: Reduced strength in the hand, making it difficult to grip objects or perform tasks .

16. Diagnosis Physical Examination: A doctor will typically diagnose Gamer's Thumb based on symptoms and a physical exam, checking for pain and swelling. Finkelstein Test: A common diagnostic test where the patient makes a fist with the thumb tucked inside and bends the wrist toward the pinky. Pain during this motion often indicates De Quervain's Tenosynovitis . Treatment Options Rest and Activity Modification: Taking a break from gaming to allow the thumb to heal. Reducing the frequency and duration of gaming sessions. Immobilization: Wearing a thumb splint or brace to keep the thumb in a neutral position and reduce strain on the tendons. Ice and Anti-inflammatory Medication: Applying ice packs to reduce swelling and pain. Over-the-counter NSAIDs ( Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs) like ibuprofen can help manage inflammation. Physical Therapy: Stretching and strengthening exercises to improve flexibility and reduce the risk of recurrence. Ergonomic training to ensure proper posture and grip during gaming.

17. Injury Prevention in Esports Ergonomics: -Proper chair and desk setup to promote good posture. -Keyboard and mouse placement to reduce strain. Regular Breaks: -Follow the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break to look at something 20 feet away. Stretching Exercises: -Regular hand, wrist, and shoulder stretches to prevent RSIs. Hydration and Nutrition: -Maintaining a balanced diet and staying hydrated to support physical and cognitive health. Mental Health Management: -Stress management techniques like meditation, adequate sleep, and counseling if necessary.

18. Injury Management and Rehabilitation Rest and Recovery: Importance of taking time off to heal from injuries. Use of anti-inflammatory medications for pain relief .
