Torticollis Congenital
Conditions
Brief summary
A randomized control trial was conducted through convenient sampling. 18 subjects were randomly allocated into two groups, group A received postural control exercises in addition to conventional therapy, while Group B received TAMO therapy along with conventional therapy. analysis.
Detailed description
Torticollis is common in children and can be congenital or acquired. Acquired cases can result from neck muscles or bone injuries. Though distressing for parents, it usually improves over time. Treatment includes postural control exercise and TAMO therapy, along with conventional treatment. To compare the effects of TAMO therapy versus postural control exercises on children with congenital muscular torticollis on cervical range of motion. A randomized control trial was conducted through convenient sampling. Eighteen subjects were randomly allocated into two groups; Group A received postural control exercises in addition to conventional therapy, while group B received TAMO therapy along with conventional therapy. The duration of the treatment was eight weeks. Goniometer, still photography, muscle function. Eighteen participants (n=18) were included in the study.
