brachial plexus injuries …

The net work of nerves known as the brachial plexus is responsible for
transmitting impulses from the spinal cord to the shoulder, arm, and hand.
When these nerves are strained, compressed, or in the most severe
scenarios, torn apart or severed from the spinal cord, the brachial plexus is
injured.
Football and other contact sports frequently result in minor brachial plexus
burns or stingers. Brachial plexus injuries can occur to newborns during
delivery . The brachial plexus may also be impacted by tumors or
inflammatory diseases Automobile or motorbike accidents frequently result
in the most serious brachial plexus injuries. Surgery could be able to restore
function in cases of severe brachial plexus injuries, which might immobilize
the arm.

Erbs paralysis …

A disorder called Erb's palsy is characterized by arm numbness and loss of

motion. Both newborns and adults can get it. Typically, the brachial plexus
is hurt physically during childbirth or as a result of force being applied
downwardly to the upper arm and shoulder. A net work of nerves called the
brachial plexus is located close to the neck and gives the shoulder, arm,
hand, and fingers movement and sensation.

Signs and Symptoms…

* Loss of feeling in one arm

* Partial or total paralysis of one arm
* Weakness in one arm
* Numbness in one arm
* Limited motion of the arm

Causes …

During a challenging birth, the infant's neck is frequently extended to the

side and the shoulder is compressed downward, which might result in Erb's
palsy. When a baby is bigger than typical, Erb's palsy can occasionally
develop, making delivery challenging. Gestational diabetes or poorly
controlled maternal diabetes may be the cause of this.
