Hi XXXXXXXXXXXX

Thanks for the query

Yes. Brachial plexus injury to this magnitude can render the upper limb in this condition. Further tests like MRI and NCV and EMG need to be done to evaluate residual damage and further treatment.

His Doctor has directly described 50% disability because no movements take place at the arm onwards. This is in keeping with XXXXXXX Disability guidelines for the upper limb.

Am intricate examination of all the sensations and each muscle movement needs to be charted in order to get the exact figure.
