Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome or Median Neuropathy at the Wrist is a medical condition in which the median nerve is compressed at the wrist, leading to pain, paresthesias, and muscle weakness in the forearm and hand. A form of compressive neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome is more common in women than it is in men, and, though it can occur at any age, has a peak incidence around age 42. The lifetime risk for carpal tunnel syndrome is around 10% of the adult population.

Most cases of carpal tunnel syndrome are idiopathic - without known cause. Repetitive activities are often blamed for the development of carpal tunnel syndrome, along with several other possible causes. However, the correlation is often unclear.

The condition was first noted in the medical literature in the early 1900s. Ultimately, carpal tunnel release surgery may be required, in which outcomes are generally good. However drastic measures such as surgery can be avoided if less intrusive therapies prove effective.

The Xtensor is a device that helps to reduce or eliminate pain associated with carpal tunnel syndrome. To maintain a healthy, normal balance, The Xtensor conditions the Finger Extensor Muscles and increases their ability to handle the stress placed on them during the daily activities that contributed to the problem in the first place. The Xtensor works quickly to develop the Strength and Endurance of the Finger Extensor Muscles providing the necessary stabilizing effects to reduce the risk of Tendonitis in the Wrists and Elbows.

The Xtensor is the first product able to precisely target and strengthen the Finger Extensor Muscles while also providing a full, natural path of motion necessary for stimulating the muscles in the elbow. Using The Xtensor strengthens muscles virtually off limits to all other devices. The most well known repetitive strain injury is Carpal tunnel syndrome, which is common among guitarists as well as assembly line workers but relatively rare among computer users: computer-related arm pain is generally caused by another specific condition.
