Costoclavicular Test (Military Brace Test, Eden's Test) | Rationale & Interpretation

The video tutorial explains the costoclavicular test, also known as the military brace or Eden's test, used to assess thoracic outlet syndrome. It details the procedure, including positioning the patient, monitoring the radial pulse, and interpreting results. A positive test is indicated by a decrease in pulse strength or increased neurological symptoms, suggesting compression between the clavicle and first rib. The test is particularly useful for patients with symptoms while wearing a backpack. The video concludes with a review of the test steps.
