YANES SIERRA, Vivian; SANDOBAL DE LA FE, Eduardo; CAMERO ALVAREZ, Duvier y OJEDA DELGADO, Lianet. Obstetric Brachial Plexus Palsy in the Context of Early Physical Rehabilitation. Medisur [online]. 2014, vol.12, n.4, pp.635-649. ISSN 1727-897X.
Cuban health system currently promotes prenatal testing and monitoring of pregnancy; nevertheless obstetric brachial plexus palsy remains an unfortunate consequence of a difficult delivery and is one of the most common birth trauma. Traditionally, its treatment has been conservative, based on multidisciplinary monitoring and consultations with various specialists to deal with the consequences. After conducting an extensive literature review, we discussed in this paper the etiology, anatomy, pathophysiology, types of injuries, prognosis and outcome, consequences, assessment tools, existing treatments and series of exercises for obstetric brachial plexus palsy.
