Hi, I need some help. I have a 10 year old boy who had some anterior horn
cell damage following meningitis that left him with some brachial plexus
insufficiencies. His right shoulder has no function, but he can flex his
elbow and use his hand. He wants to participate in sports, but they are
concerned that because his shoulder is so atrophied and unsupported that he
will cause further damage to his brachial plexus, any suggestions on how to
keep him safe and active, while still allowing him to use what function he
has of his right elbow and hand? Thanks, Karen
