Klumpke's Palsy, also known as Klumpke's paralysis is a type of brachial plexus palsy that causes paralysis of the muscles of the hand and forearm. To suffer from Klumpke's Palsy, the lower nerve roots of the brachial plexus including roots at the C8 (eighth cervical vertebrae) and T1 (first thoracic vertebrae) will become injured. It is rare to have an isolated situation involving only Klumpke's Palsy so the term is usually spoken about when there is palsy of the brachial plexus.

While there is no formal treatment for Klumpke's Palsy physical therapy or occupational therapy, or both, may help. The following must be taken into consideration to assess the probability of an injury to the brachial plexus:

• previous large birth weight babies
• gestational diabetes
• previous c-sections
• genetics
• physical size of mother
