Description:

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.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Goniometer	It measured cervical range of motion.	Readings were taken at baseline and four months of intervention
Primary	Muscle function Scale:	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,	Readings were taken at baseline and four months of intervention
