BRACHIAL PLEXUS PALSY : at birth or by accident

A-BRAS, a non profit association, is helping people dealing with brachial plexus palsy, caused either at birth or caused by accident. Most of our site is in French. If French is not your favorite communication language, still you can communicate with us in English.
A lot of support groups exists in different countries and we remain informed of their activities.

The A-BRAS was created in France by families having one of their new born with an arm palsy at birth. We act mostly in France and thanks to Internet early in our history and the one of many support groups, we had contacts all over the world.

Some explanations about "A-BRAS" :
  • In French BRAS is the word for arm.
  • The A serves both as the "A" of Association and as the prefix "a" indicating the "lack" of a functionnal arm (like in the word asymmetry : no symmetry).

    You can access other sites dealing with Erb's palsy.
