Brief Summary:
Erbs palsy is a common neurological injury occurs at the time of birth It causes injury to the upper trunk nerve root c5-c6 ie supply is around shoulder and muscles of forearm and these nerves network from the spine and pass through the cervicoaxillary canal in the neck and the ribs and emerge into the axilla Restoring external rotation in erbs palsy is quite difficult and mostly surgery is recommended but if physiotherapy sessions are given with extended time up to 2 hours and latest techniques are applied to strengthen external rotators then range of external rotation can be improved
Detailed Description:
Erbs palsy is form of brachial plexus palsy which involves injury to cervical nerve roots c5 c6 causing loss of movements and deformities ie internally rotated shoulder hanging arm and waiters tip hand deformity Most common risk factors are shoulder dystocia maternal obesity breech presentation and high birth weight of child Its incidence is 042 per 1000 live births in which 25 experience permanent impairment and injury
Both Conservative and non-conservative treatment protocols are applied in erbs palsy but key interventions are positioning in early infancy passive range of motions and gentle stretching Another latest treatment approach is intensive physical therapy in which single session duration is extended to three to four hours with combination of treatments This study will be randomized control trial used to check effectiveness of intensive physical therapy to restore shoulder external rotation in erbs palsy Subjects with erbs palsy meeting the predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria will be divided into two groups by using lottery method Pre assessment will be done by using AROM on goniometer as objective measurement Subject in one group will be treated with intensive physical therapy and the other with conventional treatment Each subject will receive 5 Treatment sessions per week for 6 months
Recorded values will be analyzed by using SPSS version 25
