BRACHIAL PLEXUS PALSY : at birth or by accident

Our association, A-BRAS, is helping people faced to brachial plexus palsy, at birth or by accident. For now, all our site is in French. If French is not your favorite communication language, still you can write us in English (info @ a-bras.org) ! We will also answer in English !
The general information in English will be added later.


The A-BRAS was created in France by families having one of their new born with a arm palsy at birth. We act mostly in France and thanks to Internet we are also able to help french speaking people : Canada, Belgium, Switzerland, Africa, ... .

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 : absence of symmetry).

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