About

Erb's palsy is a type of brachial plexus injury occurs in infants due to injury of nerves during childbirth. Injury causes weakness or paralysis of different muscles. Different type of approaches are made for the treatment of erb;s palsy such passive range of motion, stretching ,splinting ,electrotherapy etc. In erb's palsy the most affected ranges are shoulder abduction and shoulder external rotation. Quasi experimental study will be done on the patient with erb's palsy intervention applied will be functional electrical stimulation (a low frequency current) applied 5 day a weeks for 2 weeks than on alternate days for the rest of the treatment. Setting for functional electrical stimulation will be Frequency 20 pps with Pulse width of 300 msec. 18 patient will be recruited . "Assumed population standard deviation"4.24" "Confidence level""0.95" "Acceptable error""2". Pre-intervention reading will be taken on modified mallet scale and universal goniometer and post intervention measurement will be taken after 02, 04 ,06 months.
