  • that is a joke right?

  • @iDoodleTv :

    Not sure what you're asking Doodle... Are RSI injuries from playing video games a joke? Not a joke at all. Muscle imbalance from repetive motion occurs over time which causes blood flow and muscle imbalance problems at the hand, wrist & elbow.

  • Just last night I played some Call of Duty MW3 more intense then I've ever played which improved my performance. As a result my left hand started getting tired which then caused my thumb to twitch. It was scary since I've never experienced my thumb twitching like that before. Of course, I discontinued my gaming session but I'm worried that I won't be able to play intensely anymore. I know many other people play Call of Duty way more often then I do and they don't have this issue.

  • @WolfShadow1234 :

    We're all different DNA-wise and have different degrees of tissue and joint health & especially blood flow based on our experiences. Be consistent with proper balanced exercise to maximize ur individual potential for muscle & joint health. Also check that your diet includes fresh vegetables and lots of water. Your nutrient balance is key for all of your muscles, even your hand muscles!

  • Handmaster Plus exercises the hand through natural ROM so allows you to mimick any movement.

  • Hi, im a 15 year old boy who plays A LOT of video games as i have nothing better to do as i have peripheral neuropathy in my feet which is like flat feet and i wear braces on my legs. Recently my hands especially my right, my fingers are weak, and i dont have mobilization as a normal hand would have like i cant snap which i used to be able to and i cant button up my shirts or cut my nails or do A LOT of things like i was able to do before. please help me out im in desperate need of attention TY

  • @iiLegendHD : I am hopeful that you have a health care professional that can advise you of safe exercise to stimulate circulation. I can suggest Handmaster Plus soft, which will guarantee better blood flow and strength for your hands, wrsits and forearms, but your Dr. must first approve. Let me know if I can assist further.

    Best,

    Terry

  • @WolfShadow1234 Dude the same thing happened to me except its my trigger finger (right index finger) and it just keeps twitching, its annoying to play with.

  • @doczac Before i forget, i also play a good bit of guitar/bass everyday as well

  • @doczac Hey doczac,

    Recently my left thumb joint (reflex muscle i think) has started to hurt a good bit. I play mostly FPS such as COD battlefield and halo. With the handmaster pro, can it not only prevent injuries, but also help my thumb joint recover and strengthen?

  • very interesting, but this is for pressing buttons only. wot about sliding, can you exercise the thumb for lateral movement, not just up and down

  • this is very interesting to me. i recently found and purchased a handmaster while searching for hand exercisers via amazon.com. this one seemed to get good reviews and it was a good price, so i bought it. i partly was looking because of my recent affair with Fifa 11, which kind of cramps your hands after a while because of the way you end up holding the control. this product has helped me feel better in just a couple days and i look forward to using it continually. i also play guitar :)
