Journal ArticleDOI
Neonatal brachial plexus palsy--management and prognostic factors.
TL;DR: Of importance are early referral to interdisciplinary specialty clinics that can provide up-to-date advances in clinical care and increasing research/awareness of the psychosocial and patient-reported quality of-life issues that surround the chronic disablement of NBPP.
Journal ArticleDOI
An MRI study on the relations between muscle atrophy, shoulder function and glenohumeral deformity in shoulders of children with obstetric brachial plexus injury
Valerie M. van Gelein Vitringa,Ed O. van Kooten,Margriet G. Mullender,Mirjam H. van Doorn-Loogman,Johannes A van der Sluijs +4 more
TL;DR: The affected shoulders showed significantly reduced muscle sizes, increased glenoid retroversion and posterior subluxation and Muscle atrophy was more severe in the subscapularis muscle than in infraspinatus and deltoid.

Early effects of muscle atrophy on shoulder joint development in infants with unilateral birth brachial plexus injury
Valerie M. van Gelein Vitringa,Richard T. Jaspers,Margriet G. Mullender,Willem J.R. van Ouwerkerk,Johannes A van der Sluijs +4 more
TL;DR: This study assessed the early interactions between shoulder muscles and shoulder joint development in children with a birth brachial plexus injury to assess the underlying mechanisms of shoulder deformities.

Limited glenohumeral cross-body adduction in children with brachial plexus birth palsy: a contributor to scapular winging.
Stephanie A. Russo,Bryan J. Loeffler,Dan A. Zlotolow,Scott H. Kozin,Jim Richards,Sarah Ashworth +5 more
TL;DR: The proposed theory that a glenohumeral cross-body abduction contracture leads to the appearance of scapular winging in children with residual brachial plexus birth palsy is supported.

Clinical assessment of the infant and child following perinatal brachial plexus injury.
Susan V. Duff,Carol DeMatteo +1 more
TL;DR: Using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) model, the model is used to provide a guide to assessment after perinatal brachial plexus injury for rehabilitation clinicians.
