Abstract

Brachial plexus injury could cause pain and stagnant of movements at all joints or any of the joint of the upper limb. A Table showing the maximum joint movements is provided. In course of the treatment, the increase in the ROM would be noted down periodically. Wax therapy and exercise with double pulley is the best to recover loss of movement at the shoulder joint. Splints and other exercisers like grip developer, finger exerciser, static cycle, parallel bar for walking training, play important roll. In the four Case Studies, all the exercises from IP joint to shoulder joint have been demonstrated clearly with diagrams.
