NTOS symptoms and mobility: a case study on neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome involving massage therapy.
[thoracic outlet syndrome]
Neurogenic
thoracic
outlet
syndrome
(
NTOS
)
is
a
neuromuscular
condition
affecting
brachial
plexus
functionality
.
NTOS
is
characterized
by
paresthesia
,
pain
,
muscle
fatigue
,
and
restricted
mobility
in
the
upper
extremity
.
This
study
quantified
massage
therapy
's
possible
contribution
to
treatment
of
NTOS
.
A
24
-
year
-old
female
with
NTOS
received
eight
treatments
over
35
days
.
Treatment
included
myofascial
release
,
trigger
point
therapy
,
cross
fiber
friction
,
muscle
stripping
,
and
gentle
passive
stretching
.
Abduction
and
lateral
rotation
at
the
glenohumeral
(
GH
joint
)
assessments
measured
range
of
motion
(
ROM
)
.
A
resisted
muscle
test
evaluated
upper
extremity
strength
.
The
client
rated
symptoms
daily
via
a
visual
analog
scale
(
VAS
)
.
Findings
showed
improvement
in
ROM
at
the
GH
joint
.
VAS
ratings
revealed
a
reduction
in
muscle
weakness
,
pain
,
numbness
,
and
'
paresthesia
'
.
Results
suggest
massage
may
be
useful
as
part
of
a
broad
approach
to
managing
NTOS
symptoms
and
improving
mobility
.
