dear angle,
I have seen many Erb´s and only a few Klumpke´s. Treatment is not really that different, it depends on the childs specialist, the treatment he-she gives , the country, the possibilities for rehab etc etc. It does vary per country.

The guidelines in the following article could be of some help.
