What is the prognosis for an infant with Erb’s palsy?

The long-term prognosis for Erb’s palsy caused by a birth injury can vary quite a bit, depending on the extent of damage done, how soon treatment begins, and factors affecting the individual child. Some cases resolve on their own over time, while others require physical therapy for up to two years. In some cases, children will never gain full function in the affected arm.

If your child is suffering from Erb’s palsy caused by a birth injury, you may be eligible for compensation for the cost of treatment and other losses. Contact Philadelphia birth injury lawyers Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C. at 215-238-1130.
