Abstract:
Erb's palsy usually commonly arises from incidents such as falls, collisions, birth trauma, and shoulder injuries in children. It impairs upper extremity muscle function, which has an impact on the quality of life and social interaction. Physical therapy is beneficial in preserving and enhancing upper extremity function, improving the quality of life. In this case report, a seven-year-old female child with complaints of weakness in the right upper limb demonstrated a notable increase in the strength and function of the upper extremities after four weeks of structured rehabilitation using virtual reality and functional electrical stimulation.
