Abstract Background Muscle weakness is a widespread problem in children with Erb’s palsy as it can cause changes in muscle architecture parameters, which can be detected by ultrasonography. This study was conducted to determine the relation between age, muscle architecture, and muscle strength in children with Erb’s palsy. A total of 40 children with Erb’s palsy from both sexes aged 1–2.5 years were included in this study. Muscle thickness and pennation angle were measured by ultrasonography, and muscle strength was measured using the active movement scale. Results A significant relation was found between age, muscle thickness, pennation angle, and muscle strength (P < 0.05). Moreover, a significant difference was found in muscle architecture parameters during relaxation and contraction in both study groups and in each study group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Muscle weakness in children with Erb’s palsy has an effect on muscle architecture parameters, and these parameters also increase with age.

A Prospective Study

In a prospective study, the incidence and clinical presentation of self-mutilation was documented in 127 consecutive cases of obstetric brachial plexus injury. Six out of the 127 cases (4.7%) had clinical evidence of self-mutilation. The incidence of self-mutilation was much higher among children with total palsy (4/37) than Erb’s palsy (2/90). All affected children were able to bring the mutilated hand or forearm to the mouth without assistance from the contralateral normal limb. Mutilation in patients with total palsy was generally severe and usually involved biting the tips of the digits. However, mutilation in patients with upper (Erb’s) palsy was mild in degree and tended to involve the dorsum of the hand. Similarity between human self-mutilation and animal autotomy following denervation are discussed along with the different theories explaining the mechanism of this abnormal behaviour.
