What is the attitude of upper limb in Erb-Duchenne palsy?

The attitude of the upper limb in Erb-Duchenne palsy is characterized by the arm being adducted, internally rotated, and extended at the elbow. The forearm is pronated and the wrist is flexed. This position is often referred to as the "waiter's tip" position.

Erb-Duchenne palsy is caused by damage to the upper roots of the brachial plexus, which are responsible for innervating the muscles of the shoulder and upper arm. This damage can occur during childbirth, as a result of traction injuries to the brachial plexus.

The symptoms of Erb-Duchenne palsy can vary depending on the severity of the injury. In mild cases, there may only be weakness in the affected arm. In more severe cases, there may be complete paralysis of the arm and hand.

Treatment for Erb-Duchenne palsy typically involves physical therapy to help improve range of motion and strength in the affected arm. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to repair the damaged nerves.
