The outlook varies depending on the cause and severity of the weakness. For instance:
- Brachial Plexus Injuries: Many newborns recover fully with appropriate therapy, although some may have lasting effects. - Congenital Disorders: Conditions like muscular dystrophy or cerebral palsy may require long-term management and have a variable prognosis. - Fractures: Generally, fractures heal well, and normal function is often restored with proper treatment.
