To present a case study of infantile Erb's palsy that responded to conservative chiropractic care.
A 5-wk-old infant boy suffered from a limp left arm. A clinical diagnosis of Erb-Duchenne palsy was made. Birth records were obtained to further substantiate the diagnosis.
The patient received specific chiropractic adjustments to the mid-cervical spine and muscle stimulation therapy with an upper extremity exercise program. The Erb's palsy resolved with only a mild residual "waiters tip" deformity within 2 months.
In this case, chiropractic adjustments with muscle stimulation therapy is suggested as an effective treatment for Erb's palsy. Further studies are required to better understand chiropractic's effectiveness in Erb's palsy cases.
介绍一例通过保守整脊治疗有效的婴儿型臂丛神经麻痹病例。
一名5周大男婴出现左臂无力。临床诊断为Erb - Duchenne麻痹。获取出生记录以进一步证实诊断。
患者接受了中颈椎的特定整脊调整以及上肢运动计划的肌肉刺激疗法。臂丛神经麻痹在2个月内得到缓解，仅残留轻度“侍者尖”畸形。
在该病例中，整脊调整结合肌肉刺激疗法被认为是治疗臂丛神经麻痹的有效方法。需要进一步研究以更好地了解整脊疗法在臂丛神经麻痹病例中的有效性。
