Clinical Trial Summary

Infants with and without torticollis will be measured at different time points to assess their passive cervical spine range of motion (pCROM).

Description:

Infants at the age of 2 to 12 month will be measured at several time points to assess their passive cervical range of motion. One group will include healthy subjects, the other group infants with a diagnosed torticollis. Healthy subjects will be measured at the age of 3, 4, 6 and 9 months. Infants diagnosed with torticollis, at their visit at a Chiropractor and one week later.
