How is Erb’s palsy diagnosed?

The diagnosis usually begins with a physical examination. Your healthcare provider might also order these tests:

• EMG (electromyography). This test finds out how well muscles and nerves work.
• Imaging tests. These tests take pictures of what’s happening inside your body. Your provider may order an MRI or a CT combined with myelogram. Your provider might also order an X-ray if there is any question about broken bones.
