Assessment of the Impact of Thoracic Outlet Syndromes on the Performance at Work (PROCTB)

April 16, 2026 updated by: University Hospital, Lille
Thoracic outlet syndrome may associate neurologic, arterial and venous symptoms. The responsibility of repetitive movements and postural factors has been mentioned for long. Some tasks are hard to perform, and it seemed interesting to assess the consequences of this syndrome on the work capacity by a questionnaire, at the moment of diagnosis by Echo-Doppler
