Do your employees experience a lot of repetitive tasks? If you’ve answered yes, you might want to look at investing in Zebra Technologies’ TC8000 Touch Mobile Computer and Scanner.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition that can be caused by the repetitive motion of the wrist and hand. When the median nerve and tendons are compressed in the carpel tunnel in the wrist due to swelling, pain, and numbness develops in the hand and wrist.
