Brachial plexus birth injury and cerebral palsy lead to a common contracture phenotype characterized by reduced functional muscle length and strength

IntroductionBrachial plexus birth injury (BPBI) and cerebral palsy (CP) both cause disabling contractures for which no curative treatments exist, largely because contracture pathophysiology is incompletely understood. The distinct neurologic nature of BPBI and CP suggest different potential contract...
