Wait, is this a trick question? Are we supposed to just pick the one that sounds the most like a made-up medical term?

I'm not sure, but I think it might be A) Costoclavicular maneuver. It also tests for thoracic outlet syndrome.

Costoclavicular maneuver, all the way! It's the one that really gets to the root of the issue.

The AC shear test? Nah, that's for shoulder problems, not thoracic outlet. Gotta keep your body parts straight, you know?

No, that test is not for thoracic outlet symptoms. Stick with Adson's test for that.

Wriqhfs hyperabduction test? Sounds like someone had a bit too much coffee when they were naming these things.
