United Brachial Plexus Network, Inc.

I just found a web site that I found very helpful. It's geared toward adults but is useful for understanding basic nerve/muscle anatomy with very good pictures/drawings:

http://www.teleemg.com

It includes a description of an EMG & what to expect for an adult, Peripheral Nerve Anatomy drawings, Muscle Anatomy (shoulder/arm/hand, etc.) drawings, Shoulder/Arm/Hand problems and other topics. Very easy to understand. The visuals are wonderful...especially if you're trying to place electrodes on your child for e-stim so you can get a better picture in your mind of where contact points would be.

Thanks for posting this, Karen. It does look like avery informative site. I'll check back into it once I replenish my printer paper supply. Would you mind telling me exactly where on the site you found the part that helped you picture the contact points for the estim? I would really appreciate that. Thanks.

There is a section on muscles, depicting the anatomy of muscles of the shoulder/arm. Because we're working with a physician for daytime e-stim, I've been instructed where to place the electrodes. Knowing the musculature from the picture on the web site helps me visualize my daughter's muscles and where the best contact points are. The physician had already given me muscle anatomy pictures when we first started the daytime e-stim...I found them very useful. If anyone is using e-stim, these pictures from the site could be shown to your e-stim therapist/specialist so a parent could get a better idea of electrode placement. The site doesn't tell you where to place them. I just found it helpful in knowing the musculature under the skin.

This web site is great for OBPI/adult....

It explains in simple terms & graphics bpi injury.

This site is very helpful for obpi/adult who already know that they have other issues related to their obpi on the Cumulative Trauma Disorders
