Yet, we know today that operating such equipment, an absolute necessity in most offices, has created a dramatic escalation in the number of carpal tunnel syndrome cases, a repetitive-motion-type injury (CTS).
This wrist and hand malady results from performing the same motions day after day for hours at a time, as when a person types at a word processor constantly.
