Injuries from Technology More Common than Most People Realize

s concerned that overuse injuries in children could lead to pain and poor posture as they grow into adulthood."

Brill offers the following tips to help mitigate and prevent overuse injuries from technology:
1.   About 20 to 30 minutes of game playing is appropriate. Individuals should listen to the warning clues on the video games and take a break. Wii sports have clues built in. They should also take breaks from the computer, Blackberry or PDA at least every 15-20 minutes.
2.   Technology users should stretch their wrists, elbows and shoulders throughout the day, both when they are using the device and when they're not.
3.   Individuals should be aware of ergonomics at workstations, making sure they are sitting in good postures with their arms supported, feet on the floor and hips and knees bent to 90 degrees.
4.   If an injury occurs, an individual should ice the painful area and begin strengthening exercises when the pain subsides.
