PRLog (Press Release) - Jan 08, 2010 -
As parents we want to keep our children safe and healthy. We take comfort that our children are in school and away from harms way. However, the 21st century has brought us a plague called the repetitive stress syndrome. Significant on going research conducted at the Columbia University and the New York University indicates increasingly high occurrences of these conditions in our children. Use of electronic media, computers, video games, etc, has been documented to cause repetitive stress syndrome, involving hands, eyes, neck and back, at an alarming rate in our children. The public has given this syndrome different names such as blackberry thumb, cell phone elbow, and guitar hero wrist. The research shows that 23% of elementary school students, 33% of middle school students and 60%of high school students experience symptoms of pain and nerve compression associated with the repetitive stress syndrome.
Computers, video games, and electronics are here to stay. We need to learn how to protect our bodies and adopt prevention techniques as part of daily routines. It is the future of our children and we must protect them.
