| erb's palsy exercises for adults: Obstetric Brachial Plexus Injuries Rahul K. Nath, 2006-12 This book is a personal account of the treatment options for brachial plexus injuries sustained by babies at birth. The author's experience with several thousand such patients has led to the diagnostic and therapeutic methods detailed in the book. These evidence-based practices are taken from the author's practice and from the scientific literature. Several new findings not previously described are presented, and techniques to treat these problems are shown. Illustrations and pictures are designed to improve understanding of the concepts underlying treatment options as well as the underlying pathologies. The book is divided into sections covering the initial nerve injury, and the physiological and anatomical responses of the muscles and bone to the nerve injury. A separate section is devoted to clinical methods of diagnosing common as well as unusual problems that occur. Opposite each illustrated section on diagnosis is a treatment panel that describes the author's personal approach to the management of various functional deficits. Dr. Nath's book is written for a wide audience and is an introduction to a fascinating and often misunderstood field of medicine. The level of writing is suitable for health care professionals or families interested in knowing more about the injury as well as their treatment options. |

| erb's palsy exercises for adults: Operative Brachial Plexus Surgery Alexander Y. Shin, Nicholas Pulos, 2021-07-02 Fully illustrated and enhanced with accompanying video clips, this comprehensive text presents the clinical evaluation and management of brachial plexus injuries and reconstruction, both for adult patients and birth injuries. Divided into two main sections, part one covers adult brachial plexus injuries, discussing the relevant anatomy and biology, epidemiology, and associated injuries. The main focus, however, is on diagnosis – the clinical exam as well as neurodiagnostic and radiographic evaluation – and surgical management approaches and techniques, including nerve grafting and transfers, tendon and muscle transfers, and joint fusion. Related topics are presented in chapters on sensory reinnervation, neuropathic pain management, the role of amputation and prosthetics, and pre- and post-surgical therapy protocols. Brachial plexus birth injury is described in part two, also focusing mainly on diagnosis and management but with an emphasis on the fact that babies are not small adults and special considerations are warranted. This section concludes with chapters on the management of late complications and long-term sequelae. A comprehensive surgical text on brachial plexus injuries has not been previously attempted. Filling a large gap in the literature, Operative Brachial Plexus Surgery is the go-to resource for adult and birth related brachial plexus reconstruction for orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, plastics surgeons, and their trainees. |

| erb's palsy exercises for adults: Cerebral Palsy Freeman Miller, Steven J. Bachrach, 2006-05-08 When a child has a health problem, parents want answers. But when a child has cerebral palsy, the answers don't come quickly. A diagnosis of this complex group of chronic conditions affecting movement and coordination is difficult to make and is typically delayed until the child is eighteen months old. Although the condition may be mild or severe, even general predictions about long-term prognosis seldom come before the child's second birthday. Written by a team of experts associated with the Cerebral Palsy Program at the Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, this authoritative resource provides parents and families with vital information that can help them cope with uncertainty. Thoroughly updated and revised to incorporate the latest medical advances, the second edition is a comprehensive guide to cerebral palsy. The book is organized into three parts. In the first, the authors describe specific patterns of involvement (hemiplegia, diplegia, quadriplegia), explain the medical and psychosocial implications of these conditions, and tell parents how to be effective advocates for their child. In the second part, the authors provide a wealth of practical advice about caregiving from nutrition to mobility. Part three features an extensive alphabetically arranged encyclopedia that defines and describes medical terms and diagnoses, medical and surgical procedures, and orthopedic and other assistive devices. Also included are lists of resources and recommended reading. |

| erb's palsy exercises for adults: The Pediatric Upper Extremity Joshua M. Abzug, Scott H. Kozin, Dan A. Zlotolow, 2014-11-22 Sub-specialization within pediatric orthopedics is growing, in part due to the development of free-standing children's hospitals and the desire by patients and their parents to have experts care for them. We are at the forefront of a trend in physicians classifying themselves as pediatric upper extremity surgeons. Numerous pediatric hospitals now have or are recruiting physicians to focus their practice in this area. Historically, these issues were treated by general orthopedic surgeons, adult hand surgeons, pediatric orthopedic surgeons, or plastic surgeons. However, none of these professionals treat the entirety of pediatric upper extremity pathology, and no single reference has focused on the treatment of the pediatric upper extremity as a whole. For example, fractures have typically been written about in pediatric textbooks, while tendon and nerve injuries are covered in adult hand textbooks. This textbook is a comprehensive, illustrated reference that discusses all aspects of the pediatric upper extremity, from embryology and functional development to nerve injuries, trauma, tumors, burns, sports injuries and more. |
