This study examined the effect of reciprocal electrical stimulation (RES) across elbowflexors and extensors on the reaction of degeneration percentage and motor function inErbs palsy infants. Forty infants with Erb's palsy aged between 2 to 5 months were randomly allocated to one oftwo equal groups: the control group (A) received standard physical therapy, the studygroup (B) received traditional physical therapy plus a 15-minute RES through elbowflexors and extensors. For three months, interventions were carried out three times eachweek. The percentage of reaction of degeneration and motor function were assessed pre-andpost-treatment using electromyography and the Toronto active motion scale respectively.
