RESUMO
O objetivo deste estudo foi demonstrar o caso clínico de um paciente com paralisia de Erb em membro superior esquerdo (MSE), decorrente de lesão obstétrica do plexo braquial. Demonstra-se o caso de um paciente de 1 ano e 8 meses, acompanhado durante seis atendimentos onde se verificou o efeito das condutas aplicadas. O paciente apresentava hipotonia em MSE, diminuição da amplitude de movimento (ADM) ativa de flexão e abdução de ombro esquerdo, ausência de supinação ativa de antebraço e extensão de ombro esquerdo. As condutas foram apresentadas de forma lúdica, para que a criança participasse ativamente do tratamento. Após o término das sessões pode-se observar que houve aceitação das condutas pelo paciente, que passou a colaborar mais nas atividades solicitadas. Ocorreu, também, o incremento no uso do MSE, nas AVD, bem como, durante as sessões de fisioterapia.
ABSTRACT
The objective of the present study is to report the case of a patient with Erb paralysis in the left arm, due to an injury to the brachial plexus caused by an obstetric lesion. The patient was 1 year and 8 months old and was observed during six therapy sessions, where were observed the effects of the treatment. The patient showed symptoms like hypotenia in the left arm; reduction in active amplitude of movements in the left shoulder in flexion and abduction; absence of active supination in the forearm and extension in the left shoulder. In order to make easier for the patient to have an active participation, the treatment was presented in a ludic form. After the end of the sessions, was observed that the procedure was accepted by the patient who collaborated with the activities. There was an increase of movements in the left arm in daily activities and during the sessions of physiotherapy.
