Brachial Plexus Program (Erbs Palsy)

Our multidisciplinary Pediatric Brachial Plexus Program is one of the most advanced and comprehensive in the country. It is fully staffed by neurosurgeons, hand surgeons, physiatrists and occupational therapists. Each patient seen in the clinic receives an occupational therapy evaluation followed by an evaluation by all members of the team. If necessary, nerve testing will be performed on site. Following each evaluation, the team makes formal recommendations for a treatment plan to the patient and family.

Services that may be recommended include therapies, neurosurgery, reconstructive surgery and physiatric management.
