Clinically Fit Introduces The Xtensor For Hand, Wrist Or Elbow Disorders 2/25/2008  New York - Nothing like The Xtensor has ever existed before. It is a handheld therapeutic device used to help rehabilitate people with or at risk of hand, wrist problem, and/or elbow problems. This medical breakthrough treats patients with ailments in the upper extremities such as hand failure or hand stiffness from a stroke, arthritis, Repetitive Stress Injuries in the wrist, tennis elbow, tendonitis, thumb pain, etc. With the recent launch of The Xtensor, a positive buzz has already been created, so much that The Xtensor is the recipient of the 2007 Medical Design Excellence Award for a new rehabilitation device. “The personal accomplishment and satisfaction I receive from creating The Xtensor and being able to potentially help millions of people has made me realize that committing my life to making a positive difference was the best decision I ever made,” states Scott Kupferman, CEO of Clinically Fit Inc., the home of The Xtensor.

The Xtensor is the most effective rehabilitation tool for repetitive stress injuries of the upper extremity by treating the cause of the problem. It is quickly becoming the go to product for patients being treated for everything from a stroke to tennis elbow. The Xtensor is the only product on the market to perform with true biomechanical correctness, able to stimulate muscles and tendons in the hands, wrists and elbows that have been virtually off limits to all other devices. Repetitive gripping and squeezing throughout the day forces extended isometric contractions of the flexor muscles of the hands and fingers producing an unnatural imbalance over time as the hands operate in a mostly closed position. For this reason, patients with hand, wrist and elbow disorders experience unnecessarily long healing times and high reoccurrence rates. Most importantly, by using The Xtensor the patient is treating the cause of the pain and not just masking the symptoms.

The Xtensor represents a breakthrough in rehabilitation by placing tension on the muscles that open your hands while maintaining a natural path of motion to all users. Stimulating the finger extensor muscles and tendons provides a reverse motion which quickly creates the necessary rebalancing of strength and flexibility in the hands and fingers. Additionally, this device is fully adjustable to accommodate virtually all hand sizes. Integrating The Xtensor into the rehabilitation process for patients recovering from a stroke, tendonitis or arthritis will help the patient regain the dexterity and control needed to get back to a normal life.
