Erb’s Palsy, also known as brachial plexus birth palsy, is a condition that results from injury to the brachial plexus nerves during childbirth. This can occur when there is stretching or tearing of the nerves in the shoulder region, leading to weakness or paralysis in the affected arm. Common causes include difficult or prolonged labor. Treatment may involve physical therapy, splinting, and in some cases, surgery to improve the function and mobility of the affected arm. Early intervention is important for optimal outcomes.
