As many as 30% of infants with brachial plexus birth injury (BPBI) have paralysis or weakness in one arm resulting in lifelong impairment in arm function with joint contractures, the shortening of tendons, ligaments and muscles, leading to reduced range of motion (ROM), being a common complication and major source of disability. A primary goal of early management of BPBI is to use passive range of motion (PROM) (stretching) to improve and/or maintaining shoulder ROM due to the known risk of shoulder contracture within the first year of life.
