What is Brachial Plexus Palsy?
Brachial Plexus Palsy, also known as Erb’s Palsy, is a condition that affects the nerves that control the muscles in the arm and hand. The brachial plexus, a group of nerves, is located on the right and left side of your neck, between the neck and shoulder area and runs from the spinal cord through the arm to the wrist and hand. Damage to these nerves occurs when a baby’s shoulders become impacted at birth, stretching or tearing the brachial plexus.
