Effects of Modified Constraint-induced Movement Therapy With and Without Electrical Stimulation in Erb's Palsy

Pakistan34 participantsStarted 2024-03-15

Plain-language summary

ERB's palsy is an injury of upper section of the brachial plexus (C5-6) leading to an internally rotated and adducted shoulder and a pronated forearm. Modified constraint-induced movement therapy improves the functionality of the affected limb, while electrical stimulation helps in the improvement of active range of motion and muscle strength in ERB's palsy patients. This study aims to investigate the effects of modified constraint-induced movement therapy with and without electrical stimulation on range of motion, muscle strength, and motor functions in patients with ERB's Palsy.
