[Standardization of evaluation and classification of disability manifestations in traumatic brachial plexus birth injury-induced paralysis]. / Standardisierung von Evaluation und Klassifikation der Krankheitsbilder bei geburtstraumatischen Armplexuslähmungen.

ABSTRACT

The classification of miscellaneous clinical features in obstetric palsies is difficult due to variations during growth, regeneration, plexus repair and secondary surgery. Any useful comparison of different forms of therapy requires universally recognised norms of evaluation. Several proposals have already found clinical application. Their employment will help to unify the results of our evaluation.
