Dr. Harjeet Deepa, who treats RSI patients, said that the y__5__ patient she had treated was a 5-year-old girl. She had s__6__ bad RSI in her hands that she couldn’t hold a pencil.
As mobile phones d__7__, they are getting smaller with buttons c__8__ together. Texting with a smaller phone is worse than using a larger phone with b__9__ buttons. Using computers and playing video games can cause the same problem. So more and more people could find t__10_ with RSI.
