Injury to the brachial plexus nerve, the most common trauma, usually results from the arm being extended more then 90 degree when the patient is lying suping. It also produces the symptoms of brachial neuralgia. Vayu situated is the shoulder dries up its binding element and thus produces ‘amsasosa’. The same while contracting the ligaments causes ‘avabahuka’. Brachial plexus injury also takes place during labour by manipulating the foetus to bring it out from the mother’s womb.
