Konjenital Musküler Tortikollis ve Birlikte Gelişen Deformasyonel Plagiosefalinin Ev Fizyoterapi Programına Yanıtlarının İncelenmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma deformasyonel plagiosefali ve konjenital musküler tortikollisin ev fizyoterapi ve rehabilitasyon programına cevabının araştırılması amacıyla planlandı. Yöntem AN INVESTIGATION OF THE RESPONSES OF CONGENITAL MUSCULAR TORTICOLLIS AND RELATED DEFORMATIONAL PLAGIOCEPHALY TO A HOME-BASED PHYSIOTHERAPY PROGRAM ORIGINAL ARTICLE ABSTRACTPurpose: This study was aimed to investigate the response of deformational plagiocephaly and congenital muscular torticollis to a home-based physiotherapy program.Methods: Thirty-two babies with congenital muscular torticollis and deformational plagiocephaly, aged between 0-6 months were the participants of the study. Babies received a home-based physiotherapy program. They were evaluated initially, at the sixth, the 12th and the 18th weeks after the first visit. Subjects were assessed using Muscle Function Scale, neck passive range of motion, and head tilt were used to evaluate congenital muscular torticollis, Plagiocephaly Severity Assessment Scale, and ear shift were used to assess deformational plagiocephaly.Results: Significant improvements were recorded for congenital muscular torticollis between initial and sixth week, the sixth and 12th weeks (p<0.05). At the 12th week, a plateau was regarding this improvement (p>0.05). Deformational plagiocephaly improvement continued between the 12th and the 18th weeks (p<0.05) after which of slight degree occipital flattening to slight degree was still not fully recovered. Conclusion:The study showed that even if congenital muscular torticollis was cured in three months, time still required for recovery of deformational plagiocephaly.
