It has been argued that people with cerebral palsy need to maintain a higher level of fitness than the general population to offset loss of functionality as they age. [9] Access to exercise can often depend on the caregivers' perception of whether it will benefit the person with CP, [10] or barriers in the community. [11]
Erb's palsy is a paralysis of the arm caused by injury to the upper group of the arm's main nerves, specifically the severing of the upper trunk C5–C6 nerves. These form part of the brachial plexus , comprising the ventral rami of spinal nerves C5–C8 and thoracic nerve T1.
The presence of the ATNR, as well as other primitive reflexes, such as the tonic labyrinthine reflex (TLR), beyond the first six months of life may indicate that the child has developmental delays, at which point the reflex is atypical or abnormal. For example, in children with cerebral palsy, the reflexes may persist and even be more ...

The Bobath concept is an approach to neurological rehabilitation that is applied in patient assessment and treatment (such as with adults after stroke [1] or children with cerebral palsy [2]). The goal of applying the Bobath concept is to promote motor learning for efficient motor control in various environments, thereby improving participation ...
When the child's head is turned to the side, the arm on that side will straighten and the opposite arm will bend (sometimes the motion will be very subtle or slight). If the infant is unable to move out of this position or the reflex continues to be triggered past six months of age, the child may have a disorder of the upper motor neurons .
Injury to Erb's point is commonly sustained at birth or from a fall onto the shoulder.The nerve roots normally involved are C5 and partly C6. Symptoms include paralysis of the biceps, brachialis, and coracobrachialis (through the musculocutaneous nerve); the brachioradialis (through the radial nerve); and the deltoid (through the axillary nerve).
Erb's palsy, also known as brachial palsy, involving paralysis of an arm; Spinal muscular atrophy, also known as wasting palsy; Progressive supranuclear palsy, a degenerative disease; Squatter's palsy, a common name for bilateral peroneal nerve palsy that may be triggered by sustained squatting [3] [4] [5] Third nerve palsy, involving cranial ...
