Hi,
Please continue physiotheraphy and positioning advised by physiotherapist and ortho doctors. Because even residual weakness will cause problem when the child grows into adult especially if it is right hand.you have to think of long term consequences. For this condition alternative treatment is not helpful.Please do not ignore.Take care
