The enclosed research data which we have
completed, concerning your therapeutic orthotic,
'Flextend', has proven favorable in the treatment
of patients, who present with carpal tunnel
syndrome, epicondylitis and tendonitis.
Our
clinical parameters in testing this orthotic
was both occupational and non-occupational
incidence. The outcome of 20 female and 16
male, were 80.2% for pain reduction following
15 treatments. The overall population resulted
in 74.9% complete recovery. The treatment
was in combination with an adjunct of ultrasound
and sine wave. Thank you for allowing us
the opportunity in performing this study.
