    Smile Re: erb's palsy & electrical stimulation

    you mean you will allow the hand to be in more or less disability position except adding supination??? it will only facilitate the stronger normal muscles overacting and worsening the "policeman's tip hand "position of arm according to me. i would like to see others openion regarding this
    cheers

    dear dapoi en linbin

    Rest, after the initial injury, is only called for in the first 7-10 days. In that time, the arm can be positioned gently across the abdomen ( Volpe Neurology of the Newborn 2001) giving the haemorrhage and edema time to decrease.

    kind regards

    Esther

    Hi lin,
    As stated in my post, proper positioning is optimum in the initial stages or few days post injury only.
