Test protocol

The Roos Test, also known as the Elevated Arm Stress Test, is used in the context of thoracic outlet syndrome. As a reminder, the thoracic outlet is defined by three anatomical spaces through which the brachial plexus and subclavian vessels pass. These spaces include the interscalene space, the costoclavicular space, and the retropectoral space.
