Passive shoulder mobility and active shoulder external rotation recovery in upper‐trunk brachial plexus birth injuries after nerve repair

Puntos clave

• This study investigates the relationship between passive shoulder mobility and active external rotation recovery after nerve surgery in children with upper-trunk brachial plexus birth injuries.
• Evaluate passive shoulder mobility in children post-nerve repair
• Assess active external rotation recovery
• Analyze the correlation between passive mobility and active rotation outcomes
• Passive external rotation does not limit restoration of active external rotation
• Children show variations in active rotation recovery despite similar passive mobility
