Wright's test for thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) The Wright’s test is designed to decrease the retropectoralis minor space in the first step, while the second part of the test implicates the costoclavicular interval.

THORACIC OUTLET SYNDROME ASSESSMENT SERIES PART 5: WRIGHT'S TEST The Wright's test consits of two phases: In the first phase you are putting stress on the subcoracoid tunnel. In the second step, you are hyperabducting the arm and thus stressing the costoclavicular space. Both sides can be interfaces where the brachial plexus might get compressed. P.S. Tomorrow, we are going to launch our shoulder assessment series! So stay tuned for our next video, which will come out at 8:00 pm CET! #WrightTest
