What Is Erb’s Palsy?

What Is Erb’s Palsy?

Erb’s palsy is a form of childbirth injury that causes damage to the brachial plexus. The brachial plexus is made up of five groups of nerve fibers that originate in the spinal cord and intertwine and exchange as they travel to the axilla (arm pit region). Damage to these fibers during childbirth can cause loss of sensation as well as muscle weakness or paralysis in the shoulder and upper extremity muscles. Erb's palsy is a disorder in which the upper portion of the plexus is affected. Shoulder and elbow movements are weakened as a result of this injury.

Common symptoms of Erb’s palsy include:
