Abstract

Neonatal brachial plexus palsy is a devastating complication occurring during complicated birthing scenarios including shoulder dystocia. To understand the effects of maneuvers that reduce forces required for delivery following shoulder dystocia, tools that simulate the birthing scenarios are needed. Incorporation of brachial plexus responses is further required to help understand the mechanism of neonatal brachial plexus palsy and devise strategies that can help prevent them. Given the inability to measure forces and tissue strains during actual birthing process, computer and physical models serve as optimal tools with its known limitations. This mini-review highlights and summaries available computational and physical models that can help understand brachial plexus injury mechanisms in neonates following complicated delivery including shoulder dystocia.
