Klumpke Palsy Treatment Guidelines Handout

Klumpke's palsy in adults can result from trauma or injury to the lower brachial plexus, often due to accidents, falls, or sports injuries.

Treatment for a compressed brachial plexus may include physical therapy, medications for pain management, and in severe cases, surgical intervention to relieve pressure on the nerves.

Erb's Palsy affects the upper brachial plexus, leading to weakness or paralysis in the shoulder and upper arm, while Klumpke's palsy involves the lower brachial plexus, causing weakness or paralysis in the hand and forearm.
