EXERCISES CAN HELP IN ERB'S PALSY
Exercises can be helpful in managing Erb's palsy, a type of brachial plexus injury that affects the arm and shoulder. Physical therapy and specific exercises can help improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion in the affected arm. Exercises may also help reduce pain and prevent the development of muscle imbalances. In some cases, other treatments such as surgery may also be necessary.
