Course Description:
Between the ages of one and six children rapidly grow and develop. A brachial plexus birth
injury (BPBI) can dramatically impact the physical development of the upper quarter and the
functional use of the arm. Clinicians must understand the critical timelines for interventions to
optimize upper extremity function and participation in meaningful activities. Brachial plexus
birth injuries are relatively uncommon and most pediatric clinicians will infrequently provide
care for this population. Many pediatric clinicians need additional resources to provide optimal
interventions for this unique population. After completing this course, clinicians will be
confident in evaluation, therapeutic interventions, and home programming for toddlers,
preschoolers and young children with a BPBI. Clinicians will understand critical timelines for
therapy and surgical interventions to optimize development and upper extremity function. This
course is an introductory course for occupational and physical therapists, and early intervention
providers.
