Most patients with obstetrical paralysis have some useful functional return, and early recognition and treatment help prevent rapidly developing shoulder contractures. Initial physical therapy includes passive range of motion exercises. Fixed contractures must be released prior to reconstructive surgery designed to improve funtion. An approach to the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of obstetrical paralysis is given.

[The incidence and prognosis of obstetric paralysis of the upper extremity].

A total of 122 babies with birth paralysis of the arm were treated at the department for diseases of the newborns in 1984-1987 in the town of Yaroslavl. The incidence of this suffering has made up 1.5 per 1000 of babies born alive. Characterization of the pregnancies, deliveries, and the newborns is presented. Risk factors in respect of such paralyses are distinguished. Late results of conservative treatment were followed up in 80 cases. Functional and cosmetic aftereffects of birth paralyses were seen in 27.5% of cases.
