| 1.Relationship between clinical characteristics and GMFM (lying and rolling) in infants with postural torticollis 2. The interaction between plagiocephaly and affected neck muscle function in early gross motor development | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The analyzed clinical characteristics included early evaluation age, sex, direction of cervical lateral flexion and rotation, presence and severity of plagiocephaly, Muscle Function Scale (MFS) of affected neck muscle, gestational age and birth weight. For the achievement of early gross motor development, the percentage score data of 17 questions of the lying and rolling dimension in Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-88) were collected. | — |
