Objectives: To assess the effect of post-operative rehabilitation of C7 nerve root transfer for the patients with brachial plexus injury. Methods: Nineteen patients with the brachial plexus injury were operated C7 nerve root transfer. The paralysed limb had been applicated by an exercise associated with an electrical stimulation to re-educate muscles. The motor development was used as a criteria index. Results: Sixteen cases (equal to 84.21 percent) have recovered the elbow flexor at the first to the fourth level. Ten cases (equal to 52.63 percent) have recovered the wrist flexor at the first to the second level and three (equal to 15.79 percent) have recovered finger flexor from the first to the second level. Conclusions: The exercise associated with an electrical stimulation has a good rehabilitative effect for the postoperated patients of C7 nerve root transfer to treat the brachial plexus injury.
