Summary

This study investigates the effect of soft tissue mobilization in babies with neck muscle problem. Babies received soft tissue mobilization or home exercises program

Conditions

  • Congenital Muscular Torticollis

Interventions

OTHER

soft tissue mobilization

soft tissue mobilization technique has three phases. First phase 'the passive mobilization phase' is applied by gentle but tight gripping of the SKM muscle two or three fingers below the muscle origo and the muscle is mobilized rhythmically in the antero-posterior direction. Secondly, after gently continue to hold the muscle the baby was encouraged to do active repetitive cervical rotation to the affected side by means of catching the babies attention with colored and sonorous toys. Third phase was mobilization with stretching. Caregiver holds the baby on his/ her affected side while the therapist gently grips and withholds the muscle. Therapist mobilizes the muscle in the antero-posterior direction and stretch the muscle

OTHER

home program controlled once six weeks

Home program which consisted of positioning the neck and head, handling strategies, stretching exercises, strengthening exercises according to babies neurodevelopmental level and environmental adaptations
