It is popularly known as the &#8220;Playstation Thumb&#8221; too. Gamers who love to play video games using Playstation or Nintendos are more likely to suffer from this problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Obesity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most common side effects of prolonged gaming is obesity. When a player is sitting at their gaming station for hours and eating fast food, it is a sure way to gain weight. A sedentary lifestyle is very dangerous as it keeps one from getting the right level of exercise or mobility.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ergodirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Gamer-Disease-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"213\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ergodirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Gamer-Disease-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2566\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ergodirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Gamer-Disease-2.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.ergodirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Gamer-Disease-2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Vision Problems<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Playing video games for a prolonged amount of time can result in a compromised eyesight and eye strain. Vision problems may lead to migraines and discomfort while working. Extensive video gaming may also lead to seizures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Ergonomics is one of the ways to deal with Gamer\u2019s disease. We define <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ergodirect.com\/blog\/what-are-ergonomics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ergonomics as a science<\/a> that helps you adjust your environment to the perfectly suit  your body. So instead of using computer accessories that are one-size-fits-all, they should be adjustable. The goal is to adapt the equipment and furniture to the user\u2019s body type in such a way that the user can maintain a posture that is healthy as well as be comfortable and productive. Here are some ergonomic principles and tips to prevent Gamers&#8217; disease.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. <strong>Sit-stand regularly<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most gamers sit at their gaming stations for hours and this is one of the leading causes of Gamers&#8217; disease. Make sure to stand up and move around or carry out some activities every hour to keep the circulation of your body flowing. You may also try using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ergodirect.com\/636-adjustable-desks\">stan<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ergodirect.com\/636-adjustable-desks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ding d<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ergodirect.com\/636-adjustable-desks\">esk<\/a> and alternate between sitting and standing for an uninterrupted gaming experience.&nbsp; &nbsp;Please fill out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ergodirect.com\/#desk-finder-nav\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Desk Finder form<\/a> to receive customized recommendations from ergonomic experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. <strong>Choose ergonomic keyboard &amp; mouse<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ergodirect.com\/105-ergonomic-keyboards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ergonomic keyboards&nbsp;<\/a> and &nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ergodirect.com\/234-ergonomic-mouse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ergonomic mouse<\/a>&nbsp;designed to protect your wrist from any stress or injuries like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and  Gamers&#8217; Thumb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. <strong>Sit on Ergonomic Chairs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to fully enjoy your gaming experience, nothing beats having an Ergonomic Gaming Chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With an <a href=\"\/www.ergodirect.com\/1053-gaming-chairs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ergonomic gaming chair<\/a>, you can enjoy your favorite video games while maintaining a good posture.&nbsp;Please fill out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ergodirect.com\/#chair-finder\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chair Finder form<\/a> to receive customized recommendations from ergonomic experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. <strong>Install a monitor arm<\/strong> &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Invest in a monitor arm in order to take care of your posture.
