Some common synonyms for this condition include brachial plexus injury, shoulder dystocia, and birth injury. Other related terms may include nerve palsy, muscle paralysis, and nerve damage. While Erb-Duchenne paralysis can be a challenging condition to manage, steps can be taken to alleviate symptoms and improve mobility, including physical therapy, medication, and surgery in some cases. It's important for those with this condition to work closely with their healthcare providers to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses their unique needs.
