*  Hand Pain, Carpal Tunnel, and Practical Solutions for Farm Work
Repetitive hand-intensive tasks such as pruning, harvesting, trellising, and packing can take a toll on your hands and wrists over time. Join Michigan AgrAbility staff to learn about common causes of hand and wrist injuries, strategies to reduce strain, and practical ways to keep working safely and comfortably. Learn how AgrAbility works with growers and the seasonal and migrant workforce to promote hand health through education, screenings, and practical solutions. Participants will also have the opportunity to see and try adaptive tools, ergonomic equipment, and assistive technologies designed to make fine motor tasks easier and help keep you in the field longer.
