Population

105 children with the whole spectrum of obstetric brachial plexus (OBP) injuries, from severe to full recovery, examined at age 5 years

Outcome

Motor and sensory functions, and use of the affected limb

Obstetric brachial plexus injuries cause complex functional disabilities at age 5, including reduced grip strength and impaired hand function due to limited shoulder movements.
