Imagery Ability in Obstetric Brachial Plexus Palsy

Obstetric brachial plexus palsy (OBPP) is the paralysis of the ipsilateral upper extremity after a brachial plexus injury that occurs during labor. Imagery is to rehearse sensorial experiences in the mind such as auditory, visual, tactile, olfactory, gustatory or kinesthetic sensation. Imagery is used as a new technique in rehabilitation recently. Various studies have reported the importance of imagery and using imagery as a rehabilitation technique in different neurologic and orthopedic conditions. This study aimed to evaluate imagery ability in children with OBPP.
