Erb's Palsy
Erb's Palsy is a condition that affects the arm's movement and strength due to injury to the brachial plexus, a network of nerves that control the arm and hand. This injury often occurs during childbirth, particularly if the baby's shoulder gets stuck during delivery. Symptoms can include weakness, limited range of motion, and difficulty using the affected arm.
Treatment for Erb's Palsy may involve physical therapy to improve strength and mobility. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to repair the damaged nerves. Early intervention is crucial for the best outcomes, helping children regain function and independence in their daily activities.
