“…However, psychosocial factors may also be associated with disability. An association between psychosocial factors and pain, patient satisfaction, and disability has been reported in previous studies of patients with various abnormalities of the hand [16][17][18][19] . Identification of the factors that are associated with disability will allow the development of comprehensive treatment strategies after peripheral nerve injury.…”

“…Authors of previous studies of outcomes following peripheral nerve injury have emphasized measures of motor and sensory recovery, data that reflect nerve regeneration and reinnervation of the motor fibers and/or sensory end organs but not the impact on the patient. More recently, investigators have recognized the importance of patient selfreport questionnaires, disability, and health-related quality of life [13][14][15]19,52 . Disability is defined as a limitation in the ability to perform tasks, activities of daily living, or other activities [53][54][55][56] .…”

“…Depending on the structure and site of injury, there is great variability in symptoms and patient presentation. It is well established that upper extremity disorders affecting the peripheral nervous system have lasting implications on function [4,8,11,22]. In our study, patients reported a moderate to large negative impact on QoL, regardless of diagnosis, indicating that nerve injury and compression have a considerable impact on overall well-being.…”

Background Disorders involving the peripheral nervous system can have devastating impacts on patients' daily functions and routines. There is a lack of consideration of the impact of injury on social/emotional well-being and function. Methods We performed a retrospective database and chart review of adult patients presenting between 2010 and 2012 with peripheral nerve compression, brachial plexus injury, thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS), or neuromas. At the initial assessment, patients completed a questionnaire used to obtain demographic and psychosocial variable data including the (1) average level of pain over the last month, (2) self-perceived depression, (3) how much pain impacts quality of life (QoL), (4) current level of stress, and (5) ability to cope with stress.

“…The BOT-2 Body Coordination score is a composite of two subtest scores: Bilateral Coordination and Balance. Our cohort's mean scale scores were 12.8 (SD 4.4) for balance and 13.3 (SD 3.6) for bilateral coordination, meaning that both fell into the lower segment of the average range (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20). Further analysis of the Balance subtest revealed that 11 participants scored below the average range, 27 within the average range (10-20), and 1 above it.…”

Purpose: Most children with severe birth-related brachial plexus injury (BRBPI) have some functional impairment, but information on the impact of BRBPI on coordination and balance is limited. The study's purpose was to determine whether children with BRBPI exhibit deficits in body coordination and balance. Method: A prospective cohort study involving 39 children with BRBPI aged 5-15 years was conducted. Range of motion, strength, active movement, and balance and coordination motor skills were assessed using the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, Second Edition (BOT-2), and the Movement Assessment Battery for Children-Second Edition (MABC-2). A self-report measure of physical disability, the Activities Scale for Kids-Performance Version (ASKp), was also administered. Results: Participants scored a mean of 44.72 on the BOT-2 Body Coordination composite subtest; scores can range from 20 to 80. Eleven participants (28.2%) scored below average on this test. Participants scored a mean of 7.3 on the Balance subtest of the MABC-2; scores can range from 1 to 19. Twenty-six participants (66.7%) scored below average on this test. Of 38 participants, 25 (65.8%) had an ASKp score indicating some level of disability (<95/100); we found a statistically significant difference in balance (p ¼ 0.007) between these 25 participants and those without disability (ASKp score 95-100). Conclusions: The majority of our study population scored in the categories of at risk or significant difficulty for balance on the MABC-2. Balance rehabilitation may be a valuable treatment adjunct for children with BRBPI.Key Words: birth injuries; brachial plexus; ataxia; paralysis, obstetric; postural balance. RÉ SUMÉObjet : La plupart des enfants qui ont une grave lé sion du plexus brachial relié e à la naissance (LPBRN) ont une dé ficience fonctionnelle, mais l'information au sujet de l'effet de la LPBRN sur la coordination et l'é quilibre est toutefois limité e. L'é tude visait à dé terminer si les enfants qui ont une LPBRN montrent des dé ficiences de la coordination et de l'é quilibre. Mé thode : On a procé dé à une é tude de cohorte prospective portant sur 39 enfants ayant subi une LPBRN â gé s de 5 à 15 ans. On a é valué l'amplitude du mouvement, la force, le mouvement actif, l'é quilibre et la coordination de la motricité au moyen du test de Bruininks-Oseretsky de la maîtrise de la motricité (BOT-2) et du test d'é valuation du mouvement chez les enfants (MABC-2). On a aussi administré une mesure autodé claré e de l'incapacité physique, la version de l'é chelle des activité s pour la performance des enfants (ASKp). Ré sultats : Les participants ont obtenu une moyenne de 44,72 comme score composite de la coordination du corps BOT-2, qui peut varier de 20 à 80. Onze participants (28,2%) ont obtenu un ré sultat infé rieur à la moyenne. Les participants ont obtenu un ré sultat moyen de 7,3 au sous-test de l'é quilibre du test MABC-2, ré sultat qui peut varier de 1 à 19; 26 participants (66,7%) ont obtenu un ré sultat infé rieur à ...
