United Brachial Plexus Network, Inc.

Hello Everyone,
We are occupational therapy students of San Jose State University in California who are looking for someone with Erb's Palsy to interview for school project. I hope someone will be willing to help us learn more about Erb's Palsy. We would greatly appreciate your time.

Thanks,
JB & AL

Hi JB & AL,

I think it is WONDERFUL that you are working on such a project. Thank you sooo much! There is so much more that needs to be learned and understood about this injury.

Have you considered speaking with adults that sustained brachial plexus birth injuries? If so, you may want to post your message on the obstetrical adult board as well. They have lived their lives with this injury and are all too aware of all the ramifications. I think you might be surprised at what you would learn from them regarding this injury. Just a thought....

If you have an interest in speaking with parents, I am sure many of us would be more than willing to share with you. If I can assist you in any way, please feel free to contact me.

Thanks again for your efforts! Best wishes to you.
