Physiotherapy for Erb’s Palsy

Physiotherapy for Erb’s Palsy : Erb’s Palsy is a condition that occurs when the upper group of the arm’s main nerves (known as the brachial plexus) are injured. This usually happens during childbirth, especially if there is difficulty delivering the baby’s shoulder. The injury leads to weakness, loss of movement, or even paralysis in the affected arm.

 Causes and Risk Factors

• Difficult labour
• Large baby size during delivery
• Shoulder dystocia (when the baby’s shoulder gets stuck)
• Excessive pulling of the baby’s head or neck during birth

 Signs & Symptoms of Erb’s Palsy

• Weakness in the affected arm
• Reduced or absent movement in the shoulder or elbow
• Arm that hangs limply by the side
• Lack of grip strength in the affected hand
• Abnormal positioning of the arm (known as the “waiter’s tip” position)

If left untreated, these symptoms can affect a child’s growth, independence, and quality of life.
