Scapular Kinematics in Children with Brachial Plexus Birth Palsy
نویسندگان
چکیده
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) motion (3,4). Kinematics of the upper limb has been studied previously in children with BPBP (5), although this analysis did not include scapular kinematics. Since children with BPBP demonstrate scapular compensations during humeral elevation, analysis should include scapulothoracic motion to assess overall shoulder motion. The purpose of this study was to describe the scapular kinematics in children with BPBP on both their involved and their non-involved sides.

Therapeutic Taping for Scapular Stabilization in Children With Brachial Plexus Birth Palsy.
OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed to assess whether therapeutic taping for scapular stabilization affected scapulothoracic, glenohumeral, and humerothoracic joint function in children with brachial plexus birth palsy and scapular winging. METHOD Motion capture data were collected with and without therapeutic taping to assist the middle and lower trapezius in seven positions for 26 children. D...

The immediate goal of this study was to develop and validate a noninvasive, computational surface mapping approach for measuring scapular kinematics by using available motion capture technology in an innovative manner. The long-term goal is to facilitate clinical determination of the role of the scapula in children with brachial plexus birth palsy (BPBP). The population for this study consisted...
متن کاملIncidence of early posterior shoulder dislocation in brachial plexus birth palsy
BACKGROUND Posterior dislocation of the shoulder in brachial plexus birth palsy during the first year of life is rare but the incidence increases with age. The aim was to calculate the incidence of these lesions in children below one year of age. METHODS The incidence of brachial plexus birth lesion and occurrence of posterior shoulder dislocation was calculated based on a prospective follow ...
متن کاملObstetric brachial plexus injury in subsequent deliveries.
It is well known that multiparas who had previously been delivered of newborns with obstetric brachial plexus palsy are at risk of having the same complication in subsequent deliveries. However, none of the studies in the literature have actually attempted to estimate how high is that risk. The aims of the current paper were to investigate obstetric brachial plexus injury in subsequent deliveri...
