Upper Limb Multifactorial Movement Analysis in Brachial Plexus Birth Injury.
Multifactorial motion analysis was first established for gait and then developed in the upper extremity. Recordings of infrared light reflecting sensitive passive markers in space, combined with surface eletromyographic recordings and/or transmitted forces, allow eclectic study of muscular coordination in the upper limb. Brachial plexus birth injury is responsible for various patterns of muscle...
متن کاملRisk Factors for Brachial Plexus Birth Injury.
Over the course of decades, the incidence of brachial plexus birth injury (BPBI) has increased despite advances in healthcare which would seem to assist in decreasing the rate. The aim of this study is to identify previously unknown risk factors for BPBI and the risk factors with potential to guide preventative measures.

متن کاملGlenohumeral deformity in children with brachial plexus birth injuries.
Shoulder deformity remains the most common musculo-skeletal sequela following a brachial plexus birth injury. The natural history of untreated glenohumeral deformity is one of progression in this unique patient population. In infants and young children with persistent neurological deficits, shoulder dysfunction becomes a major source of morbidity, as these children have extreme difficulty placi...
متن کاملScapular Kinematics in Children with Brachial Plexus Birth Palsy
Scapular kinematics have been previously studied in adults and healthy children (1,2) and differences have been observed between adults and children (1). Brachial Plexus Birth Palsy (BPBP) often affects the shoulder musculature and these children display impairments in humeral elevation in the affected limb, glenohumeral (gh) joint deformities and compensatory changes in scapulothoracic (st) mo...
متن کاملBrachial Plexus Birth Palsies
We reviewed 19 children who had undergone a new modification of the L’Episcopo procedure for obstetric brachial plexus palsy. Through an axillary approach the latissimus dorsi tendon was re-routed anteriorly to the humerus and then anastomosed to the teres major tendon routed posteriorly. At an average follow-up of four years two months, the mean increase in shoulder abduction was 26 and the me...
