erb's palsy
DESCRIPTION
Erb’s Palsy, also known as brachial plexus palsy, occurs in the network of nerves that supply feeling and control to the shoulders and arms. Erb’s Palsy is an injury to the nerves in the neck and upper chest. The injury can result in a loss of movement and feeling in the arm, hand and fingers. This injury often occurs during childbirth if the baby's shoulders become stuck behind the mother's pubic bone and the appropriate delivery techniques are not used.TRANSCRIPT
