Across
- 7. Observed in either C5,6 muscle groups or C8, T1 muscle groups reflected by poor grip strength.
- 8. Cervical nerve root compression caused by cervical disc disease. It should be excluded during the diagnosis.
- 11. Differing signs from TOS includes loss of wrist range of motion, predominantly extension.
- 14. Active and passive for the cervical spine, cervicothoracic junction, shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hands.
- 15. reserved for patients who have failed conservative management.
- 16. Presence of cervical rib or anomalous first rib
- 17. Options include surgery, lifestyle modification, pain management, anticoagulation, physical therapy, and rehabilitation.
Down
- 1. alignment TOS patients often have a long neck with sloping shoulders.
- 2. Should persist for 4-6 months prior to consideration for surgery. Can include shoulder exercises, cervical spine exercises, and specific muscle strengthening.
- 3. Should include a detailed body chart, the nature and intensity of symptoms, and a detailed history.
- 4. TOS that accounts for 3-5% of cases. Involves the subclavian and axillary vasculature.
- 5. Thought to stress the scalene triangle. Is positive if there is obliteration or diminution of the radial pulse and/or a reproduction of the patient's symptoms.
- 6. Both true and disputed TOS
- 9. Will have similar signs of restricted and painful shoulder range of motion and weakness in shoulder muscles. Differing signs of positive testing.
- 10. Nerve roots C5,6
- 12. Is confirmed by provocative physical exam maneuvers, radiographic, and/or vascular studies.
- 13. Can coexist with TOS due to the compression of affecting nerves. Involves ptosis of the eye and a constricted pupil.
