Congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) is a common postural deformity that occurs shortly after birth and is typically characterized by ipsilateral cervical lateral flexion and contralateral cervical rotation due to unilateral shortening of the sternocleidomastoid (SKM) muscle. It is a non-neurological postural disorder that generally affects 3% to 16% of babies. Theories such as intrauterine stenosis, vascular causes, fibrosis of the peripartum bleeding area, difficult birth, and primary myopathy of the SCM muscle have been put forward for its causes.Head position; It is thought that it may cause a negative impact on posture control and movement development, sensorimotor coordination, and retardation in gross motor function by affecting the shoulder, rib cage and abdominal muscles. Motor skills and sensory experiences begin to develop after birth and development continues as children grow. Having good motor control also helps children explore the world around them, which can help many other areas of development. There are many environmental and biological factors that affect motor development. In particular, the home environment, where the child spends most of his time, is one of the key factors affecting motor development. The home environment is known to be a very important factor for motor development in babies. At the same time, the variety of equipment and environmental conditions help children provide different sensory experiences. Since it is a common practice for physiotherapists to advise patients on home activities, exploring the home environment can have important effects on development. For these reasons, it was thought that the motor development and sensory processing suggestions given in the home environment for children diagnosed with torticollis would be supported by home environment opportunities.

Primary | Affordances in the Home Environment for Motor Development-Infant Scale | Affordances in the Home Environment for Motor Development-Infant Scale is a parent-filled assessment to determine the nature and amount of factors affecting infant motor skill development in the home environment, including the availability of toys, materials, and the availability of spaces. The scale consists of 41 items in total. For babies aged 3-12 months, questions up to the first 32 items are answered. It is stated that other substances are not suitable for babies under 12 months. All substances are applied to babies between 12-18 months. Questions answered as yes or no are scored as 0.1 (0: no, 1: yes). Other questions are scored as 0, 1, 2, 3. For babies up to 12 months, a total of 66 points is obtained. For babies older than 12 months, a total of 93 points is obtained. A higher score indicates better environmental enrichment. | 1-15 months | |
Primary | Peabody Developmental Motor Scales | Second Edition | Peabody Developmental Motor Scales | Second Edition (PDMS-2) combines in-depth assessment with training or remediation of gross and fine motor skills of children from birth through 5 years. It consists of gross motor and fine motor parts. The Gross motor section includes 151 items from 4 subtests: reflexes, stasis, locomotion, and object manipulation. The fine motor section consists of 2 subtests and 98 items: comprehension and visual-motor integration. The total motor part is the sum of the items in the gross and fine 25 motor parts. Items are scored with 0, 1, and 2 points. When the child performs the item according to the specified item criteria, 2 points are given. 1 point is awarded when the behavior occurs but the criteria for successful performance are not fully met. A score of 0 is given when the child is unable to try the item or does not reveal any skills when he tries it. Results are expressed as a raw score, standard score, or total motor score. | 1-15 months | |
Primary | Test of Sensory Functions in Infants | It was planned to useTest of Sensory Functions in Infants (TSFI) to evaluate the sensory development of babies. BDFT is frequently used to evaluate the sensory processing functions of babies aged 4-18 months. It is used to determine whether a baby has a sensory processing problem and to what extent. It consists of 24 items. | 1-15 months |
