“…Activities with this type of games have the potential to generate health benefits, improving physical fitness/ability, besides getting children and adolescents involved in physical activities of moderate intensity [20]. Also, there is no evidence on adverse effects of exercising using video games in CF patients, although case studies have reported Wii-related injuries due to prolonged or overly aggressive play [21].…”

Objective: To determine the feasibility and efficacy of using a structured Nintendo Wii protocol to improve range of motion, strength, and quality of life in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome. Methods: A total of 14 patients with shoulder pain were randomized to perform a structured Wii protocol (n = 8) or conventional therapy (n = 6). Pain-free shoulder range of motion, strength, shoulder pain and disability, and quality of life were assessed pre- and post-treatment. Results: All 8 patients completed the Wii protocol, and 3 completed conventional therapy. The Wii protocol conferred significant improvements in shoulder range of motion, pain and disability, and quality of life but not strength, whereas conventional therapy conferred a significant improvement in strength. Conclusions: As compared to conventional treatment, the structured Wii protocol implemented in this pilot study was a viable adjunct to therapy for shoulder impingement syndrome. Gaming may have a supplemental benefit by increasing motivation, pleasure, and/or adherence. Further investigation in larger cohorts is warranted.

“…Video game-related injuries have been widely observed since the advent of video games [33,34]. As the video game market shifted from exclusively controller-based games to include motion-tracking technologies, physical risks of gameplay increased, with the potential for more traumatic injuries to the entire body [33].…”

Abstract:In recent years, the video game market has embraced augmented reality video games, a class of video games that is set to grow as gaming technologies develop. Given the widespread use of video games among children and adolescents, the health implications of augmented reality technology must be closely examined. Augmented reality technology shows a potential for the promotion of healthy behaviors and social interaction among children. However, the full immersion and physical movement required in augmented reality video games may also put users at risk for physical and mental harm. Our review article and commentary emphasizes both the benefits and dangers of augmented reality video games for children and adolescents.
