Injuries From Playing Interactive Video Games Appear To Be On The Rise
HealthDay (10/4, Reinberg) reported, "Sports injuries are commonplace, but injuries from playing interactive video games such as Nintendo Wii are now on the rise," researchers found after examining data collected between 2004 and 2009. "Compared with traditional video games, those playing interactive video games were more likely to injure their shoulder, ankle or foot," whereas the "65 reported seizures, the eight reported cases of eye pain or visual disturbance, and 23 of the 24 cases of neck injuries were all among those playing traditional video games." Investigators also noted that "injuries to bystanders occurred in both traditional and interactive video games, but happened significantly more often with interactive games." BBC News (10/4) also covered the study.
