Thoracic outlet synd: The Roos test is done by elevating arms and opening and closing fist rapidly. Your test suggests a strong likelihood that you have Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS), especially if the test reproduced your symptoms. Approximately 2 out of 3 patients with a positive (abnormal) test will have TOS and 1 will turn out on further testing not to have it. SEE: http://bit.ly/Zg7ao1
