My daughter is suffering from Erb s palsy at the right hand ... Thats due to prolonged labour and critical (normal) delivery - Doctors said. But my Child was suffering, i was crying .. she was not able to use her hand .. but there was grip in the fingers .. We took her to Vellore CMC Hospital- Hand surgery department, Dr Anderson suggested physiotherapy and there was improvement ... On her third month she was lifting her hand to an extend ... she turns 3 next October ... Now she is recovered around 80-85% ... Can someone tell me ... can this be completely cured?? Is there any advanced technology which can help the baby escape from a muscular surgery that making the muscle around C5-C8 nerves rigid / stiff ??? A million thanks for the suggestions .... -Kavitha (Bangalore) YYYY@YYYY
Hello. I am sorry that your baby had to go through tough time. Unfortunately there is no cure for lens palsy. Physiotherapy helps in strengthening muscles. Tendon transfer surgery is required for optimal limb function.
