Understanding Erb’s Palsy And Brachial Plexus Injuries
Erb’s palsy and brachial plexus injuries occur when the nerves running from the spine to the shoulder, arm and hand (the brachial plexus) are damaged. This can happen during childbirth if the baby’s neck is stretched to one side. The improper use of forceps or excessive pulling during delivery can cause these injuries, leading to weakness, loss of motion or paralysis in the affected arm.
Brachial plexus injuries can range from mild to severe. In some cases, children may recover with physical therapy, while others may need surgery. Erb’s palsy specifically affects the upper arm and can result in permanent disability if not treated promptly and correctly. These treatments can be very expensive, and there is no guarantee that the child will regain full use of the damaged arm.
