THE INTEGRATED SPRING-MASS MOD-
EL APPROACH TO TREATING THORACIC
OUTLET SYNDROME
T
he use of hand held devices (HHD) such as mobile phones, game con-
trols, tablets, portable media players and personal digital assistants have
increased dramatically in past decade. This drastic change has led to new
batch of difficult to treat, musculoskeletal disorders of the upper extremi-
ties such as myofascial pain syndrome of neck and upper back and thoracic
outlet syndrome. The thoracic outlet anatomy and how the bundle passes
through the passageway is complex for even musculoskeletal experts. So, for
doctors trained in other specialties there can be an inadequate understand-
ing about nature and cause of thoracic outlet syndrome. A syndrome rather
than a disease, the Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic and the National Institute of
Neurological Disorders and Stroke, plus top 10 ranked hospitals for neurol-
ogy and neurosurgery agree persistent compression of nerves, arteries and
veins traveling through the thoracic outlet is what leads to thoracic outlet
syndrome. we will discuss the three models of human movement, The Invert-
ed PendulumModel, The Spring-Mass Model and the Integrated Spring-Mass
Model (ISMM). The (ISMM), which integrates the spring suspension systems
of the foot and shoulder region as well as the torsion spring of the spine and
the mass, the head. I will discuss my clinical findings show compressive disor-
ders like TOS and herniated discs are merely an over control of tension on the
human spring mechanism leading to these syndromes. We will give brief re-
view of the symptoms and their patterns, the common orthopedic tests, and
diagnostic tests, the 16 different common conservative therapies and the 10
reasons for when surgery is medically necessary. I will discuss an alternative
treatment for this disorder based on the integrated spring mass model.
