THORACIC OUTLET SYNDROME ASSESSMENT SERIES PART 5: WRIGHT'S TEST The Wright's test consits of two phases: In the first phase you are putting stress on the subcoracoid tunnel. In the second step, you are hyperabducting the arm and thus stressing the costoclavicular space. Both sides can be interfaces where the brachial plexus might get compressed. P.S. Tomorrow, we are going to launch our shoulder assessment series! So stay tuned for our next video, which will come out at 8:00 pm CET! #WrightTest

THORACIC OUTLET SYNDROME: WRIGHTS TEST The Wright's test is a test for thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) and consits of two phases: In the first phase you are putting stress on the subcoracoid tunnel under the tendon of the pectoralis minor. In the second step, you are hyperabducting the arm and thus stressing the costoclavicular space. Both sites are interfaces where the brachial plexus might get compressed. Watson et al.
