Brachial Plexus Injury Treatment
A brachial plexus injury can cause a lack of movement in the upper or lower arm, decreased grip strength, and an affected arm bent and held at the newborn’s side. The absence of the Moro reflex on the affected side is also common.
Brachial plexus injury treatments can include:
- Gentle massaging
- Range-of-motion
- Surgery
In some cases, exercises may restore function. However, in more severe scenarios, surgery may be necessary. Unfortunately, some infants may experience permanent and total loss of arm function even with treatment.
