Özet:

 Purpose: Thoracic Outlet Syndrome TOS is a common compressive lesion in the cervico-thoracic region. Although extremity involvement is known, cervical involvement has not been investigated. Our study was planned to evaluate the cervical joint position sense in TOS and to investigate its relationship with TOS symptoms. Method: Thirteen individuals with TOS 10 women, 3 men, age: 264.73 and 13 healthy individuals 11 women, 2 men, age: 25.84.18 were included in the study. Cervical joint position sense of all participants was measured. Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale, Toronto Alexithymia Scale, and Neck Disability Index scores of individuals with TOS were recorded. Pain intensity during activity was measured with the Visual Analogue Scale VAS and the symptom duration was recorded. Results: The VAS score of patients with TOS was 5.42.69, and symptom duration was 5.032.93 years. There was no difference between the cervical joint position sense of individuals with TOS and healthy individuals right rotation p0.817, left rotation p0.209, right lateral flexion p0.248 and left lateral flexion p0.457. The kinesiophobia of individuals with TOS was 37.697.9, alexithymia was 44.5313.5, and disability score was 14.615.45. A positive correlation r0.670, p0.012 was found between kinesiophobia and alexithymia in individuals with TOS. Conclusion: Cervical joint position sense has not affected in TOS patients. The results need to be evaluated in a larger sample size. The relationship between alexithymia and kinesiophobia may be the result of a long symptom duration. We think that detailed studies on chronic pain in patients with TOS are needed.

 Amaç: Torasik Çıkış Sendromu TÇS serviko-torakal bölgede sık görülen bir kompresif lezyondur. Ekstremite etkilenimi bilinmesine rağmen servikal bölge etkilenimi araştırılmamıştır. Çalışmamız, TÇSde servikal eklem pozisyon hissinin değerlendirilmesi ve TÇS semptomlarıyla ilişkisini araştırmak amacıyla planlandı. Yöntem: Çalışmamıza TÇSli 13 birey 10 kadın, 3 erkek, yaş: 264,73 ve sağlıklı 13 birey 11 kadın, 2 erkek, yaş: 25,84,18 birey dahil edildi. Tüm katılımcıların servikal eklem pozisyon hissi ölçüldü. TÇSli bireylerin Tampa Kinezyofobi Ölçeği, Toronto Aleksitimi Ölçeği, Boyun Özürlülük İndeksi skorları kaydedildi. Aktivite sırasındaki ağrı şiddeti Görsel Analog Skalası GAS ile ölçüldü ve semptom durasyonları belirlendi. Bulgular: TÇSli hastaların GAS skoru 5,42,69, semptom durasyonu 5,032,93 yıldı. TÇSli ve sağlıklı bireylerin servikal eklem pozisyon hissi arasında fark bulunmadı Sağ rotasyon p0,817, sol rotasyon p0,209, sağ lateral fleksiyon p0,248 ve sol lateral fleksiyon p0,457. TÇSli bireylerin Tampa Kinezyofobi Ölçeği skoru 37,697,9, Toronto Aleksitimi Ölçeği skoru 44,5313,5, Boyun Özürlülük Ölçeği skoru 14,615,45 idi. TÇSli bireylerde Tampa Kinezyofobi Ölçeği ve Toronto Aleksitimi Ölçeği arasında pozitif yönde r0,670, p0,012 ilişki bulundu. Sonuç: TÇS hastalarında servikal eklem pozisyon hissi etkilenmemiştir. TÇS semptomlarında servikal eklem pozisyon hissi etkin bir rol oynamamaktadır. Aleksitimi ve kinezyofobi ilişkisi uzun semptom durasyonunun bir sonucu olabilir. TÇS hastalarında kronik ağrı ile ilgili detaylı araştırmaların yapılması gerektiğini düşünüyoruz.
