Comment ATIC Lab (Score 1) 415
I am a student that works in the Adaptive Technologies for Information and Computing (ATIC) Lab at MIT. You can find our website at http://web.mit.edu/atic/www/
Our website lists plenty of pointing devices but like you said, they require the use of a thumb. What I would recommend is that your friend obtain voice recognition software like one user of our lab who also has wrist problems. For example, use Dragon NaturallySpeaking for text entry and navigation:

Feel free to browse around the website for information about RSI and ergonomics. Unfortunately, the lab is only open to MIT students and faculty.
