The
FLEXTEND®-AcromioClavicular
Training System is used for Performance Enhancement, Thoracic
Outlet Syndrome, Rotator Cuff Injuries, Joint Instability,
Postural Disorders, Impingement Syndrome and many other upper
extremity disorders by providing more than 50 therapeutic
upper extremity exercises in one easy to use product.
The
FLEXTEND®-AC
Kit corrects
the strength / length imbalances of the entire upper extremity,
but specifically focuses on the shoulder girdle due
to its complex structure and vulnerability to injury. Creating
structural integrity within and around the
shoulder joint helps reduce the impingement of underlying nerves
and blood vessels that are often the cause of painful and debilitating
symptoms.
The FLEXTEND®-AC
Kit
also targets many other specific areas of the upper extremity,
utilizing a variety of physician and therapist recommended exercises
and training programs for the fingers, wrists, elbows, forearms,
biceps, triceps, chest and back.
The FLEXTEND®-AC
Kit
is portable, inexpensive, simple to use and eliminates all gripping
motion, reducing unnecessary stress to the hands, which has been
shown to cause further muscle imbalances and injury - Perfect
for those suffering with osteoarthritis!
| THE
COMPLEXITY OF THE SHOULDER |
There
is more movement possible at the shoulder joint than at any other
joint in the body. Over 1600 positions in three-dimensional space
can be assumed by the shoulder, making it susceptible to serious
injury. Creating
a strong, balanced and stable joint is imperative to injury prevention,
rehabilitation and performance enhancement.
The FLEXTEND®-AC
kit Kit addresses
Repetitive Strain Injuries affecting the entire Upper Extremity,
but focuses on the Acromioclavicular Joint due to the following:
- Unique
Muscle Involvement
- Complex
Movement Patterns
- Vulnerability
to Injury & Trauma
UPPER EXTREMITY STATISTICS |

to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly two-thirds of
all occupational illnesses reported, were caused by exposure
to repeated trauma to workers upper body (the wrist, elbow or
shoulder). Examples: carpal tunnel syndrome, medial/lateral
epicondylitis, shoulder tendonitis, etc. |

disorders are the country's most costly category of workplace
injuries and illnesses. In addition to spending $20 billion
annually on workers' compensation costs due to RSIs, the U.S.

and other indirect expenses; The Agency for Health Care Policy
