These are studies carried out by doctors in the field. So yes, droopy shoulder can and does cause TOS. Is it the sole cause? No. Of course not. Nothing is that black and white.

Thanks for your input but I do not agree with you. I have studied the neck, the nerves and vessels/arteries of the thoracic outlet. The roos test and many other tests are not even viable tests. Often times people fail these tests and have no symptoms.

I am not going to type why droopy shoulders can cause TOS because I already linked the scientific studies and info on it which you apparently did not read .
Hey again. I did read your articles but T.O.S was only mentioned 2 times, 1 time it even says " Thoracic outlet syndrome may be involved".

I am just trying to understand what you are trying to say here - shoulders are dropped, so fix shoulder muscles, and that will fix T.O.S because magic? all of the sudden the scalenes will be healed? pec minor? would it not make more sense to actually work on the bad muscles such as pec minor and scalenes? work on the shoulder too just as a precaution because when the shoulder is dropped the hand is also dropped and that can further damage the muscles. that's called an aggrevator, not a direct cause - rather indirect.

and Roo's test is indeed accurate but needs to be combined with other tests such as laterally raising the hand up and waiting a few seconds, or stretching the median & ulnar nerves and seeing if they are tense(it should hurt a lot. look these stretches up on youtube). so don't doubt these tests man. they specifically activate certain nerves and they can imply T.O.S. remember that many syndromes can happen simutainsly to people like the two of us who worked infront of the PC. so you can have T.O.S from simply straining the muscles.
