...this case the Quincy House “foosmasters”—are not omnipotent. They couldn’t get a crowd together for an inspirational viewing last week of Long Shot Kids so things probably don’t look good for group carpal tunnel preventative conditioning or other preparatory measures. This is perhaps because for many, the game of foosball is a relatively benign pastime—a casual, passive outlet to relax on a hectic day. It is not uncommon for a group of people to happen upon a foosball table, play a game...

After three months, 80% of the surgery group showed improvement, in contrast to 54% of those who wore splints. After 18 months, 90% of the surgery patients had improved--and 41% of the others had opted for the operation...
...holy grail of speech science--making conversation with a computer easier than typing--is still a long way off. Today's software makes lots of mistakes, and its main market is users who have no other option, including office workers who suffer from carpal-tunnel syndrome.
