Brachial Plexus Functional Outcomes After Thoracic Outlet Surgery as Measured by the Validated Brachial Assessment Tool

This study demonstrates the responsiveness and clinical utility of the BrAT for quantifying impairment in TOS. This enables clinicians to establish the severity of the condition in individual patients, as well as assess the impact of interventions by subsequent utilization of the same measure. We propose and recommend the BrAT as an important tool to evaluate brachial plexus specific impairment in the assessment and management of neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome.
