Résumé : | Objective To investigate factors that cause impairment of hand function in children with an upper Neonatal Brachial Plexus Palsy (NBPP), we performed an in-depth analysis of tactile hand sensibility, especially the ability to correctly localize a sensory stimulus on their fingers. Design A cross-sectional investigation of children with NBPP, compared with healthy controls. The thickest Semmes-Weinstein (SW) monofilament was pressed on the radial or ulnar part of each fingertip (10 regions), while a screen prevented seeing the hand. Setting Tertiary referral center for nerve lesions in an academic hospital in The Netherlands. The control group was recruited at their school. Participants Forty-one children with NBPP (mean age 10.0 y) and 25 controls (mean age 9.5 y; N=41). Interventions Not applicable. Main Outcomes Measures Correct localization of the applied stimuli was evaluated, per region, per finger, and per dermatome with a test score. The affected side of the NBPP group was compared with the non-dominant hand of the controls. Results The ability to localize stimuli on the tips of the fingers in children with an upper NBPP was significantly diminished in all fingers, except for the little finger, as compared with healthy controls. Mean localization scores were 6.6 (thumb) and 6.3 (index finger) in the NBPP group and 7.6 in both fingers for controls (maximum score possible is 8.0). Localization scores were significant lower in regions attributed to dermatomes C6 (P<.001 and c7 but not to c8 conclusion children with an upper nbpp showed a diminished incorrect ability localize sensory stimuli their fingers. this finding is likely of the factors underlying impairment hand function should be addressed focused therapy.> |
