Function and strength declines in a client with radiation-induced brachial plexopathy: a case report
This is the first report describing increasing deficits in RIBP using standardized measures of grip and pinch strength, manual dexterity and stereognosis. Sadly, there is no successful intervention to increase muscle strength in RIBP which results in progressive strength loss, as shown with this client's hand strength over three years.
