What is Erb’s Palsy?
Erb’s Palsy, also known as Erb–Duchenne Palsy, is a form of brachial plexus injury that typically occurs during birth. This condition affects the upper arm’s nerves, leading to varying degrees of paralysis. Depending on the severity, the paralysis may resolve on its own, require rehabilitative therapy, or in some cases, surgery.
Treatment Process:
At NeuroOne Physio, early intervention is critical in treating Erb’s Palsy. Our physiotherapy treatments aim to prevent fixed deformities, improve muscle strength, and maintain range of motion. Techniques such as constraintinduced movement therapy, kinesiotaping, and electrotherapy have shown positive outcomes in enhancing upper limb functionality. We also educate parents on maintaining range of motion and keeping the functioning muscles fit through daily exercises.
Key Benefits:
- Prevents fixed deformities with early intervention.
- Maintains and improves range of motion.
- Enhances upper limb functionality through targeted therapies.
