Re: brachial plexus injury

dear colleague,
the questions you are asking are not that easy to answer and I would personally prefer to ask the childsīspecialists.
There is a lot of information about surgery and I do not know enough about... that is something the neurosurgeon will know a lot more about. Worldwide every country has a different health system with more-less money. In some specialized plexus teams exist and I have been fortunate to be in this situation in Holland.I am afraid that treatment possiblities will differ per country.

We are always especially interested in elbow flexion as a first sign of nerve healing BUT the flexor carpi brachialis can flex the elbow as well. Pretty tricky to see which muscle is doing what. That is why working with a whole team is the preferable....or video-ing the session. Gives you time to look again afterwards.

good luck.... it is surely not easy

regards
Esther
