Computer Simulation of Nerve Transfer Strategies for Restoring Shoulder Function after Adult C5-C6 Root Avulsion Injuries

摘要

BackgroundFunctional ability following nerve transfer for upper brachial plexus injuries relies on both the function and magnitude of force recovery of targeted muscles. Following nerve transfers targeting either the axillary nerve, suprascapular nerve, or both, it is unclear whether functional ability is restored in face of limited muscle force recovery.
