Blackberry thumb now official

Cory Bergman September 10th, 2006

The American Physical Therapy Association has added Blackberry thumb to its list of workplace maladies. Well, that’s a relief. Here’s a few of their recommendations:

  • Take frequent breaks. Don’t type for more than a few minutes at a time.
  • Write fewer and shorter messages. Learn to abbreviate.
  • Try to avoid thumb-typing. Use your other fingers to type.
  • If possible, place a support in your lap when using it.

    Place a support on your lap? Yeah, I’ll get right on that.

      And yet Crackberry Addiction sadly remains off the list of medical maladies.
