ERB’s Palsy Program
Our ERB’s Palsy Program supports children in regaining arm strength, movement, and confidence through gentle, caring therapy.
What is ERB’s Palsy?
ERB’s Palsy is a nerve injury affecting the shoulder and arm, often seen in infants after birth trauma. It results from damage to the brachial plexus the network of nerves controlling arm and hand movement.
Our program focuses on early diagnosis and customized therapy to restore muscle function, prevent stiffness, and promote recovery.
Why ERB's Palsy Matters?
Erb’s Palsy matters because it can affect a child’s ability to move their shoulder, arm, and hand normally—especially during the early years when motor development is developing the fastest. It usually occurs due to injury to the brachial plexus nerves during birth, which may cause weakness, limited range of motion, or reduced strength in one arm.
Without early support, Erb’s Palsy can impact daily activities like reaching, gripping, crawling, dressing, and playing, and may lead to muscle tightness or joint stiffness over time.
Affects Arm Movement
Erb’s Palsy can cause weakness or loss of motion in the arm, making daily tasks difficult.
Impacts Child’s Development
Limited movement can delay milestones like crawling or grasping objects.
May Require Long-Term Therapy
Regular physiotherapy and care are often needed to improve strength and flexibility.
Early Treatment Helps Recovery
Starting treatment early can greatly increase the chances of regaining movement.
Raises Awareness About Safe Delivery
Understanding Erb’s Palsy encourages safer birthing practices and early diagnosis.
Benefits of ERB's Palsy
Erb’s Palsy plays a key role in improving arm function and preventing long-term stiffness. Since Erb’s Palsy affects the nerves that control the shoulder and arm, early and consistent therapy can help children regain better movement, strength, and coordination as they grow.
