About this study

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.

Primary outcomes

  1. Goniometer

    Time frame: Readings were taken at baseline and four months of intervention

    It measured cervical range of motion.

  2. Muscle function Scale:

    Time frame: Readings were taken at baseline and four months of intervention

    MFS is a tool used to check the function of the lateral flexors, a scale of 0 to 5, with higher scores indicating better function of muscles.Readings were taken at baseline and after four months of intervention of the neck in children,
