OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the proprioceptive sensory input in the shoulder joint affected by
obstetrical brachial plexus injuries (OBPI). METHODS: This controlled study included 39, 7 …

Objective: Decreased proprioception in Obstetric Brachial Plexus Injury (OBPI) reduces the
quality of functional movement. Hence, the aim of our study was to evaluate the effects of …

The functional outcome after a brachial plexus birth injury (BPBI) is based on changes in the
peripheral nerve and in the central nervous system. Most patients with a BPBI recover, but …

Background and Objectives Little is known about the relation between residual muscle
strength and joint contracture formation in neuromuscular disorders. This study aimed to …

IntroductionBrachial plexus injury is one of the most common obstetric injuries (OBPI). It
results in upper limb muscle weakness of various severity. This affects the growth and …

The aim of this study was to examine sensory changes of the hand in brachial plexus birth
injury (BPBI). Ninety‐five patients (43 females, 52 males) comprising two age groups, 6 to 8 …

Aim Sensory function is assumed to recover almost completely in obstetric brachial plexus
lesion (OBPL), and is reported to recover much better than motor function. However, there is …

Background A substantial number of children with an obstetric brachial plexus lesion (OBPL)
will develop internal rotation adduction contractures of the shoulder, posterior humeral head …

Brachial plexus birth injury (BPBI) results in shoulder and elbow paralysis with shoulder
internal rotation and elbow flexion contracture as frequent sequelae. The purpose of this …

The brachial plexus is a common site of injury due to trauma because of its superficial
location and close proximity to bony and vascular structures in the shoulder and neck. In …
