Repetitive Motion Injuries

When you repetitively perform actions such as pressing keys or
entering finger-written characters, you may experience
occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or
other parts of your body. Follow these instructions to avoid
problems such as tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other
musculoskeletal disorders:
• Take a minimum 15-minute break every hour of game
playing.
• If your hands, wrists, or arms become tired or sore while
playing, stop and rest for several hours before playing
again.
• If you continue to have sore hands, wrists, or arms during
or after play, stop playing and see a doctor.
