Preventive Measure for Blackberry Thumb That You Must Know

Since repetitive thumb movement while using a blackberry phone is the primary reason contributing to the development of blackberry thumb, decreasing a prolonged use of these devices and altering the way it gets used helps prevent these types of injuries. Follow these tips to prevent BlackBerry Thumb:

Switch to smaller blackberry

Over spreading the thumb is one of the main causes of BlackBerry Thumb, specifically true in the bulkier devices like the 7520. To avoid overstretching, consider switching to a smaller phone.

Use shortcuts 

Shortcut keys not only help you immediately get things done but also decrease the need to scroll. You can find these shortcuts by referring to the phone’s manual.

Don’t answer all e-mails from your BlackBerry.

If possible, skip the non-urgent e-mails while getting back to your computer.

Use the AutoText feature.

If it seems that you are typing the same e-mails all the time, consider using Autotext, which is a feature that automatically changes a common spelling mistake and also allows for shortcut words.

Use a neutral grip while holding the device. A neutral hold occurs when the wrist is stretched, not bent in either direction. This method provides a greater range of motion for the wrist.

Consider buying a folding and wireless keyboard to avoid typing on a small device.
