- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome -
(Impingement of Median Nerve)

• Symptoms: Tightness, discomfort, stiffness or pain on the front side of the hands/wrists. Tingling, numbness or paresthesia (Pins & needles) affecting the thumb, index, middle and half of the ring finger. (All fingers do not have to be affected simultaneously)
  
  Loss of strength in the hands. Pain, aching, swelling, and diminished coordination of injured areas. A need to massage hands, wrists and arms. Assuming a defensive posture in order to protect sensitive wrists.
  
• Cause of Symptoms: The finger flexors and finger adductor muscles are constantly overused in unidirectional movement patterns, (Gripping, squeezing, typing, etc.) therefore making them stronger, shorter and tighter than the extensor muscles. The result is a "muscle imbalance" between these two groups of muscles, causing the flexor muscles to impinge the underlying soft-tissue structures, including blood vessels and the median nerve.
  
• Treatment of Symptoms: FLEXTEND® reduces the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome by eliminating the muscle imbalance that causes compression of the median nerve. The FLEXTEND® exercises are specifically designed to strengthen all of the extensor muscles and tendons in the forearm in multiple planes of motion. FLEXTEND® also increases overall grip-strength, endurance, flexibility and stability of the fingers, hand, wrist and elbow.
