Technology Brings "blackberry Thumb" To Business
By Lynnette Phillips, Wed Dec 7th
Technology has been responsible for some everyday wonders thatexpand our minds and make our lives easier--wonders thatsimplify redundant and monotonous tasks and keep us in constantcontact. Because of these marvels though, we have also becomeaware of the potential harms caused by the use of technology'sdevices and the science of ergonomics that has helped us learnhow to prevent or correct the problems caused by theirrepetitive use. The U.S. Department of Labor defines a MSD(musculoskeletal disorder) as an injury or disorder of themuscles, nerves, tendons, joints, cartilage, or spinal discscaused by repetitive motion and overexertion. Now MSD, RSI(repetitive stress injury), "tennis or golfer's elbow"(tendonitis) and carpel tunnel syndrome have been joined byanother repetitive motion injury term, "BlackBerry Thumb" BlackBerry Thumb has become an all-encompassing phrase for theoveruse of small keypad devices that populate the mobilehandheld world. Much like "Gamer's Thumb" has plagued the young,many tech savvy business executives and road warriors among usare now suffering from what is known as DeQuervain's disease orBlackBerry Thumb. Typing with your thumbs to answer email orrecord vital client contact information,
even dialing your cellphone with your thumb can contribute to or cause BlackBerryThumb. The thumb is stronger than the other digits of the hand but itisn't very dexterous. The pain caused from overuse of the thumbis caused by swelling of the sheath of the tendon. Use of astylus when typing on small keyboards or better yet investing inan external keyboard has been suggested to prevent injury. Ifyou find you are already suffering from BlackBerry Thumb, restof the hand and ice should help but if it doesn't you may needto consult your physician.
