Abstract
Peripheral motor nerve transfer surgery is a technique that may be used to restore motor function to paralyzed muscles. Motor nerve transfer involves harvesting an expendable motor nerve branch, and transfer to the motor branch of the denervated target muscle, using microsurgical coaptation. To date, a standardized rehabilitation protocol does not exist. The 6 stages of rehabilitation after motor nerve transfer surgery were outlined by colleagues in the Birmingham Peripheral Nerve Injury service in 2019. This article aims to provide a practical therapy perspective on the rehabilitation stages of motor nerve transfer surgery outlined in that paper, focusing on the radial to axillary nerve transfer. Timeframes for each stage along with exercise prescription and rationale are provided.
