Abstract
El síndrome del Opérculo Torácico (SOT) es un grupo heterogéneo y potencialmente disfuncional de síndromes relacionados con compresión extrínseca de estructuras neurovasculares a su paso, desde el cuello hacia el miembro superior, por diferentes estructuras anatómicas congénitas o adquiridas, siendo más frecuente la compresión neurológica, ocasionando una variedad de sintomatología que varía según grado de compresión y estructura afectada, que en algunos casos hacen difícil su diagnóstico. Es una entidad mal diagnosticada teniendo en cuenta que no hay criterios diagnósticos establecidos; por eso, el examen físico es primordial para su sospecha clínica. El tratamiento inicial es conservador, siendo el tratamiento quirúrgico, una opción con múltiples procedimientos personalizados para cada tipo de paciente, según etiología. Dentro del tratamiento tenemos a la terapia física que incluye las Normas posturales; Entrenamiento dirigido a intentar modificar las alteraciones posturales, a pesar de su enorme importancia es, probablemente, difícil lograr una buena corrección postural debido a que se trata de hábitos adquiridos a lo largo de muchos años, especialmente en personas adultas. Ejercicios de respiración, Ejercicios de movilidad del cuello, Ejercicios de estiramiento del cuello, La activación de los músculos escalenos, Estiramiento del musculo pectoral menor, Ejercicios de fortalecimiento de hombros. Hay un punto muy importante dentro del tratamiento que es la terapia manual; hay evidencias que sugieren que la manipulación y movilización son eficaces en la mejora inmediata del rango de movimiento cervical y disminuyendo el dolor en el cuello cuando se aplica a la columna cervical y torácica. Hay Técnicas de tracción Translatoria, terapia manual en columna dorsal: Las pruebas de movilidad de la primera costilla.
Thoracic Operculum Syndrome (SOT) is a heterogeneous and potentially dysfunctional group of syndromes related to extrinsic compression of neurovascular structures in its passage, from the neck to the upper limb, by different congenital or acquired anatomical structures, with neurological compression being more frequent , causing a variety of symptoms that vary according to the degree of compression and structure affected, which in some cases make it difficult to diagnose. It is a misdiagnosed entity taking into account that there are no established diagnostic criteria; therefore, the physical examination is essential for clinical suspicion. The initial treatment is conservative, with surgical treatment being an option with multiple personalized procedures for each type of patient, according to etiology. Within the treatment we have the physical therapy that includes the postural norms; Training aimed at trying to modify postural alterations, despite its enormous importance is probably difficult to achieve a good postural correction because it deals with habits acquired over many years, especially in adults. Breathing exercises, Neck mobility exercises, Neck stretching exercises, The activation of the scalene muscles, Stretching the pectoralis minor muscle, Exercises strengthening the shoulders. There is a very important point within the treatment that is manual therapy; there is evidence to suggest that manipulation and mobilization are effective in the immediate improvement of cervical range of motion and decreasing pain in the neck when applied to the cervical and thoracic spine. There are Translational Traction Techniques, manual therapy in the dorsal column: The first rib mobility tests.
