 Photosensitive Seizures	 A 	very 	small 	percentage 	of 	people 	may	
experience 	a 	seizure 	when 	exposed 	to	
certain visual images, including flashing 
lig h

ts	or 	patterns 	that 	may 	appear 	in	
video 	games. 	Even 	people 	who 	have 	no	
history 	of 	seizures 	or 	epilepsy 	may 	have	
an 	undiagnosed 	condition 	that 	can 	cause	
these 	“photosensitive 	epileptic 	seizures”	
while 	watching 	video 	games.	
	 These 	seizures 	may 	have 	a 	variety 	of	
symptoms, 	including 	lightheadedness,	
alter

ed	vision, 	eye 	or 	face 	twitching,	
jerking 	or 	shaking 	of 	arms 	or 	legs,	
disorientation, 	confusion, 	or 	momentary	
loss 	of 	awareness. 	Seizures 	may 	also	
cause 	loss 	of 	consciousness 	or	
convulsions 	that 	can 	lead 	to 	injury 	from	
falling 	down 	or 	striking 	nearby 	objects.	
	 Immediately 	stop 	playing 	and 	consult 	a	
doctor 	if 	you 	experience 	any 	of 	these	
symptoms. 	Parents 	should 	watch 	for 	or	
ask 	their 	children 	about 	the 	above	
symptoms—children 	and 	teenagers 	are	
more 	likely 	than 	adults 	to 	experience	
these 	seizures. 	The 	risk 	of 	photosensitive	
epileptic 	seizures 	may 	be 	reduced 	by	
taking 	the 	following 	precautions:	
•	 Sit 	farther 	from 	the 	TV 	screen.	
•	 Use 	a 	
smal

ler	TV 	screen.	
•	 Play 	in 	a 	well-lit 	room.	
•	 Do 	not 	play 	when 	you 	are 	drowsy 	or	
fatigued.
	 If 	y o

u 	or 	any 	of 	your 	relatives 	have 	a	
history 	of 	seizures 	or 	epilepsy, 	consult 	a	
doctor 	before 	playing.
 m usculoskeletal Disorders	 Use 	of 	game 	controllers, 	keyboards,	
mice, 	or 	other 	electronic 	input 	devices	
may 	be 	linked 	to 	serious 	injuries 	or	
disorders.	
	 When 	playing 	video 	games, 	as 	with	
many 	activities, 	you 	may 	experience	
occasional 	discomfort 	in 	your 	hands,	
arms, 	shoulders, 	neck, 	or 	other 	parts 	of	
your 	body. 	However, 	if 	you 	experience	 symptoms
	such 	as 	persistent 	or	
recurring 	discomfort, 	pain, 	throbbing,	
aching, 	tingling, 	numbness, 	burning	
sensation, 	or 	stiffness, 	
DO	NOT 	I
 GNORE	
THESE 	WARNING 	SIGNS. 	PROMPTLY 	SEE	
A 	QUALIFIED 	HEALTH 	PROFESSIONAL,	
even 	if 	symptoms 	occur 	when 	you 	are	
not 	playing 	a 	video 	game. 	Symptoms	
such 	as 	these 	can 	be 	associated 	with	
painful 	and 	sometimes 	permanently	
disabling 	injuries 	or 	disorders 	of 	the	
nerves, 	muscles, 	tendons, 	blood 	vessels,	
and 	other 	parts 	of 	the 	body. 	These	
musculoskeletal 	disorders 	(MSDs)	
include 	carpal 	tunnel 	syndrome,	
tendonitis, 	tenosynovitis, 	vibration	
syndromes, 	and 	other 	conditions.	
	 While 	researchers 	are 	not 	yet 	able 	to	
answer 	many 	questions 	about 	MSDs,	
there 	is 	general 	agreement 	that 	many	
factors 	may 	be 	linked 	to 	their	
occurrence, 	including 	medical 	and	
physical 	conditions, 	stress 	and 	
how 	on
 e	
copes 	with 	it, 	overall 	health, 	and 	how 	a	
person 	positions 	and 	uses 	their 	body	
during 	work 	and 	other 	activities	
(including 	playing 	a 	video 	game). 	Some	
studies 	suggest 	that 	the 	amount 	of 	time	
a 	person 	performs 	an 	activity 	may 	also	
be 	a 	factor.	
	 Some 	guidelines 	that 	may 	help 	you 	work	
and 	play 	more 	comfortably 	and 	possibly	
reduce 	your 	risk 	of 	experiencing 	an 	MSD	
can 	be 	found 	in 	the 	Healthy 	Gaming	
Guide 	at 	www.xbox.com. 	These	
guidelines 	address 	topics 	such 	as:	
•	 Positioning 	yourself 	to 	use	
comfortable, 	not 	awkward, 	postures.	
•   Keeping your hands, fingers, and 
other 	body 	parts 	relaxed.	
•	 Taking 	breaks.	
•	 Developing 	a 	healthy 	lifestyle.
