Abstract

Objectives: Patients with thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) complain of many subjective symptoms that are difficult to measure and quantify. In this study we have tried to assess the weakness ( muscle strength) and fatigue ( endurance) of these patients with an objective measurement method, isokinetic muscle testing.
