Title: Occupational therapy practice guidelines in children with perinatal brachial plexus palsy Abstract: Neonatal brachial plexus palsy is a palsy of the upper limb caused by traction of the brachial plexus during birth. It affects about 1.5 cases per 1000 live births and requires complex treatment. The clinical picture depends on the severity of the nerve damage and the part of the plexus that is affected. An unified framework for the treatment and management of paresis improves communication and clinical decision making for further rehabilitation. Currently there is an absence of clinical guidelines on pediatric issues and to ensure the highest quality of care, there is a need to develop them and find the best solutions to the problem. Clinical guidelines improve the quality of healthcare and reduce the variety of procedures and methods in clinical practice. The aim of this thesis is to develop a scheme for a clinical guidelines for diagnosis and intervention in children with neonatal brachial plexus palsy from birth to 7 years of age. A sub-objective is to review diagnostic tools and occupational therapy methods or procedures that appear in studies dealing with brachial plexus paresis and that can be used in occupational therapy practice. The thesis presents the issues of perinatal brachial plexus...

Obstetric brachial plexus palsy in adulthood
Mohylová, Lucie ; Zounková, Irena (advisor) ; Syslová, Jana (referee)
Bachelor thesis: Obstetric brachial plexus palsy in adulthood Author: Lucie Mohylová Supervisor: PaedDr. Irena Zounková. Ph.D. Date: 2018 Abstract This bachelor thesis deals with persisting consequences of the obstetric brachial plexus palsy and their influence on the function of the musculoskeletal system in adulthood. The first part is theoretical and gains information from publications, that have been published about this topic in the last years. Futhermore, it also includes a description of the consequences in adult patients, their exacerbations and treatment options not limited only to physiotherapy. The second part is practical and it is devoted to a case report of an adult patient with obstetric brachial plexus palsy. It includes a patient's anamnesis to the present, a kinesiological analysis and exacerbation of symptoms with increasing age. It also covers influence of an actual functional state and his particular findings by physiotherapy. There were used available anthropometric methods and scales of functional movements. In the therapy there were used for example soft tissue techniques, peripheral joint mobilizations or methods based on developmental kinesiology models. Based on the findings about exacerbation of symptoms and the result of therapy in the case report, it can be stated that the...
