The Many Faces of Brachial Plexus Injuries
This touching video was made by Allison Steigerwalt - Mom to Bradley. The message she wants to convey is that “this injury CAN be prevented” with proper medical care. Although treatment, including surgery can mitigate the damage caused by shoulder dystocia, often, Erb’s palsy is a life long condition. This injury can be prevented through education, so please share your knowledge of shoulder dystocia and Erb’s palsy with expecting mothers to ensure they discuss the potential risk factors with their doctors, as the doctors often overlook them which leads to the injury.
