A very s mall percent age of pe ople may ex perience a s eizure when exposed t o certain visual imag es, includi ng flashing lights or p atterns th at may
appear i n video gam es. Even pe ople who ha ve no histor y of seizu res or ep ilepsy may ha ve an undiag nosed condit ion that c an cause the se
“photosensitive epi leptic se izures” while watching video games.
These se izures may h ave a var iety of sympt oms, incl uding light headedness, altered vis ion, eye o r face twitc hing, jerki ng or shaking of arms or
legs, di sorientation , confusio n, or moment ary loss o f awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousne ss or conv ulsions th at can lead t o
injury f rom fallin g down or s triking near by objects.
Immediate ly stop pl aying and co nsult a d octor if y ou experience any of these symptoms. Parents sho uld watch for or ask t heir child ren about the
above sy mptoms—ch ildren and t eenagers ar e more likel y than adu lts to exp erience these seizures. The risk o f photosens itive epil eptic seizures

Musculoskeletal Disorders
Use of g ame control lers, keyb oards, mice, or other e lectronic input device s may be linked to ser ious injur ies or disord ers.
When pl aying video g ames, as w ith many act ivities, you may expe rience occ asional disc omfort in yo ur hands, arms, shou lders, neck, or other
parts of your body. However, if you experi ence sympt oms such as persistent or recurring discomf ort, pain, t hrobbing, aching, ting ling, numbn ess,
burning sensation, or stiffness , DO NOT IG NORE THESE WARNING SIGNS. PR OMPTLY SEE A QUALIFIED HEALTH PROF ESSIONAL, even if
symptoms occur when you are not playing a video ga me. Symptoms such as the se can be associated with painfu l and some times permanently
disablin g injuries or disorder s of the ne rves, muscl es, tendon s, blood vess els, and oth er parts of the body. These musc uloskeletal disorders
(MSDs) i nclude carp al tunnel syndrome, te ndinitis, t enosynoviti s, vibratio n syndromes , and other conditio ns.
While r esearchers a re not yet able to ans wer many qu estions abo ut MSDs, t here is gen eral agree ment that ma ny factors may be link ed to their

body dur ing work a nd other act ivities (inc luding pla ying a vide o game). So me studies s uggest th at the amount of time a person pe rforms an
activity may also b e a factor.
Some gui delines th at may help you work an d play mor e comfortably and pos sibly reduce your risk of experienc ing an MSD can be fou nd in the
Healthy Gaming Gu ide at www.xb ox.com. Th ese guidelin es address t opics such as:
• Positioni ng yourself to use co mfortable, not awkward , postures.
• Keeping your hands, fingers, and other bo dy parts re laxed.
• Taking b reaks.
• Develop ing a healt hy lifestyle.
If you ha ve questio ns about how your own lifestyle, activities, or medical or physica l condition may be rela ted to MSD s, see a qua lified healt h
