No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) may complicate the activities of sporty subjects that participate in sports that involves upper extremities activities, such as baseball, tennis, swimming, rowing, volleyball, rugby football, and weightlifting. Disability and postintervention recovery related to TOS treatment and possible surgery may have a significant impact in the overall performance abilities of athletes. This study aims to detect the early predisposition of athletes to TOS onset, by means of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of thoracic outlet region.

Conditions

  • Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
  • Sport Injury

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Magnetic Resonance Scan of Thoracic outlet region

Both groups will undergo Magnetic Resonance Scan of cervicothoracobrachial region in order to study the anatomy of this region.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Duplex Ultrasound assessment of Upper limbs

Both groups will undergo Duplex Ultrasound assessment of Upper limbs, in order to study diameters and flow of the vascular system of the upper limbs.
