Abstract
Exercise rehabilitation has been proposed for the management of Neurogenic Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (NTOS). To date there have been no reviews of the literature regarding exercise rehabilitation for NTOS and their proposed clinical rationale. Understanding various exercise protocols and their clinical rationale may help guide rehabilitation clinicians in their exercise selection when managing NTOS. A scoping review was conducted on exercise rehabilitation for NTOS from inception to March 2021 in the PubMed database. Forty-seven articles consisting of literature reviews, non-randomized control trials, prospective and retrospective cohort studies, case series, case studies and clinical commentaries met the inclusion criteria. This scoping review provides a broad overview of the most common exercise protocols that have been published and examines the purported clinical rationale utilized in the management of NTOS.
