  3. Product Focus • Although the FLEXTEND®-AC addresses Repetitive Strain Injuries affecting the entire Upper Extremity, the focus is on the Acromioclavicular(AC) Joint due to the following: • Unique Muscle Involvement • Complex Movement Patterns • Vulnerability to Injury & Trauma

  4. The Complexity of the Shoulder(AC) Joint • 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.

  5. According 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. Musculoskeletal 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. spends another $100 billion on lost productivity, employee turnover, and other indirect expenses; The Agency for Health Care Policy and Research.
