Warning: All shook up over game controllers | |

Doctors say video-game shock controllers should carry a warning after a teen developed hand-arm vibration syndrome playing games for 7 hours daily. Scientists have warned that children who excessively use vibrating video game controllers could develop a painful injury. The condition--called hand-arm vibration syndrome and previously known as vibration white finger--is an industrial injury commonly associated with the prolonged use of vibratory tools such as pneumatic drills. According to a letter published in the latest edition of the British Medical Journal, a 15-year-old boy developed hand-arm vibration syndrome after playing his Sony PlayStation games console for up to seven hours per day. The boy particularly enjoyed playing driving games that made use of the rumble board on his PlayStation controller. | ||
