Die Folgen der geburtsassozierten Plexusparese im Kindes- und Jugendalter: Motorisches Ungleichgewicht, Fehlhaltung und Wachstumsstörung

The inherent nerve lesion in obstetric brachial plexus palsy has individual consequences on muscles, joints and soft tissue of the affected upper limb and impairs posture, motion patterns and self-consciousness about this body part. Both physiotherapy and surgical orthopedic treatment aim to improve function, to normalize anatomy and movement physiology and to improve selected functional deficits. This review analyzes the pathophysiology of observed changes and describes the clinical presentation and therapeutic options for the most frequent pathological conditions in a topographical structure. © 2014 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
