I'm with Phil on this one. Adson's test is the way to go - who doesn't love a good pulse check? It's like taking your patient's vitals, but with a twist!

Phalen's test? Really? I thought that was more for carpal tunnel. This is clearly a costovertebral issue. *chuckles* Guess they're trying to trick us with that one!

Ooh, I'm going to have to go with Adson's test. Isn't that the one where you check for pulse changes? Gotta love a good pulsey test!

Hmm, I was thinking Tinel's sign would be the way to go here. Isn't that how you assess nerve irritation?

Definitely the Costoclavicular test. That's the one designed to check for compression in that specific area, right?

That's interesting, I didn't know that. I thought the Phalen's test was more commonly used for wrist issues.

I agree with Benedict, Adson's test is the one to use for that.
