Best Practice Case Studies-Long Thoracic Nerve Injury LH

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS), focusing primarily on neurogenic TOS, which is the most prevalent type, affecting 95-98% of patients. Neurogenic TOS typically manifests with symptoms such as shoulder tightness, scapular dyskinesia, and radiating pain, often seen in athletes due to repetitive overuse. Diagnostic techniques include MRI, EMG, and ultrasound-guided injections. The video also touches on different examination maneuvers and therapeutic exercises for scapular management. It differentiates between scapular dyskinesia and scapular winging, using a case study to highlight treatment via pectoralis major transfer for long thoracic nerve palsy.
