Annika J, et al. - Among children with obstetric brachial plexus palsy (OBPP) born in western Sweden in 1999-2001, researchers evaluated the long-term outcome and assessed prognostic factors of OBPP. Out of 114 children with OBPP, 98 were invited to take part in the study. For this analysis, a questionnaire on the symptoms of the OBPP was sent out and those with persevering symptoms were analyzed for muscle strength, range of motion (ROM), activities of daily living (ADL), pain and sensibility at the age of 10-12 years. It was noted that most children with an OBPP recuperate completely. However, one in five had symptoms at 10-12 years of age. Findings suggested that muscle strength in forearm supination, shoulder external rotation and elbow flexion at three months of age can be used to predict the outcome.
