ADSON TEST FOR TOS (INTERSCALENE TRIANGLE) The Adson test is designed to decrease the space in the interscalene triangle.

Regarding the rather low accuracy values and due to the fact the study did not make use of MRI as the a gold standard, the clinical value of this test is rather weak. | Physiotutors

THORACIC OUTLET SYNDROME - SCALENE TRIANGLE: ADSON TEST The Adson test seems to be the most accurate test for TOS with a sensitivity of 79% and a specificity of 79% according to a review done by Gillet et al. (2001): You can find the link to this study about the accuracy of different TOS tests under following link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11707008 I am a bit unsure though if it makes a lot of sense to do an accuracy study for TOS, because the brachial plexus can get entrapped in 3 di
