Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Obstetric brachial plexus palsy (OBPP) arises from perinatal injury to the brachial plexus, resulting in varying degrees of motor and sensory impairment in the upper extremity. While existing assessment instruments primarily target unilateral limb function, they frequently overlook bimanual capabilities, which are essential for functional independence. This study aims to investigate the utility of the Duruöz Hand Index (DHI) as a reliable, valid, and practical instrument for evaluating functional limitations in individuals with OBPP. A cohort of 21 pediatric patients (aged 6-18 years) with OBPP was recruited from a tertiary university hospital in Turkey. Functional assessment included grip and pinch strength, range of motion, and upper extremity performance, measured using the Modified Mallet Classification, Brachial Plexus Outcome Measure (BPOM), Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument (PODCI), and DHI

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Grup 1

The study included twenty-one children aged 6 to 18 years, all diagnosed with OBPP, who were followed up at the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation outpatient clinic of a tertiary university hospital in Turkey. The exclusion criteria were a history of trauma or surgery affecting the function of the affected extremity (other than OBPP), the presence of systemic diseases that could impair hand function (such as polyneuropathy), and cognitive impairments that could affect comprehension.

No interventions assigned to this group
