Clinical Trial Summary

This study evaluates the effect of wearing a tetra-grip on the affected arm of children with neonatal brachial plexus palsy. Half of the participants will have tetra-grip applied to the arm, while the other half will not have it applied to the arm.


Clinical Trial Description

Tetra-grip is a tubular elastic support bandage that provides both compression and support. Previous studies have shown that by applying neoprene or athletic tape to a joint on individuals with poor proprioception or a history of joint injury, such modalities enhanced their proprioceptive recognition via stimulation of mechanoreceptors responding to skin stretch and compression during joint motion. As a result, patients have greater kinesthetic and joint position awareness of their limb. ;
