Investigating the Effectiveness of Graded Motor Imagery Training in Children With Obstetric Brachial Plexus Injury

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Obstetric Brachial Plexus Injury

In brief

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of graded motor imagery training on upper extremity motor function, proprioception, functional mobility, balance and quality of life in patients with obstetric brachial plexus injury in addition to conventional treatment. In this context, our aim is to identify new and potential physiotherapeutic approaches to address deficits in motor planning that have been shown to occur at the level of the central nervous system.
