Erbs Palsy (a Brachial Plexus injury) is a nerve injury, causing paralysis in a baby’s shoulder, arm or hand. Children with Erbs Palsy may have no muscle control, no feeling in their arm or hand, little control over their wrist and hand, or little use of their shoulder or elbow.
Erbs Palsy symptoms range from mild neuropraxia with early recovery to complete disruption with no potential for recovery.
Most Erbs Palsy occurs during birth. In the strain of childbirth, the baby’s shoulder could get caught and stretched behind the pelvic bone. Once caught, and not addressed, the Brachial Plexus can be compressed, stretched or torn.
There are 4 types of Erb’s Palsy:
Often the diagnosis is more complicated than one of these four groups. Because different injury types can cause the same symptoms, it is difficult to know what kind of injury occurred.
