Brachial Plexus Palsy
Dr. Howard Clarke is the Medical Director of the Brachial Plexus Clinic at The Hospital for Sick Children. The Clinic was started in 1990 and has since developed into a weekly multidisciplinary clinic for the comprehensive care of infants and children with brachial plexus injuries.
We see children from newborns to 17 year olds. Approximately 70 children with obstetrical brachial plexus palsy are seen each year through the clinic.
Our centre is also dedicated to ongoing research in the field of obstetrical brachial plexus injuries. Learn more
The clinic
The Brachial Plexus Clinic at The Hospital for Sick Children is a multidisciplinary clinic designed to assess and treat children with brachial plexus problems.
Children are seen in the clinic at 3-month intervals until 1 year of age, then every 6 months or more thereafter. Your child's progress is monitored and carefully documented in order to determine the best forms of treatment.
Children continue to be monitored in the clinic throughout their childhood to measure the effect of growth and development on their ability to function.
