Overview
Brief Summary
ObiH Part 1: Both treatment methods significantly improve the degree of asymmetry (OMT-group: p = 3.7E-21; Vojta-group: p = 1.4E-05) and the passive upper-cervical rotation. In the overall rotation (FRTsum), the OMT-group achieved a significant result at the 2nd treatment (T2: p = 0.013) and the Vojta-group at the follow-up appointment (T4: p = 0.035). An isolated analysis of the results of treatments done by osteopaths specialized and experienced in pediatric treatment suggests a significant improvement in the flexion-rotation test (T3: p = 2.8E-03) compared to the Vojta-group. ObiH Part 2: Both treatment methods showed a significant improvement in the severity assessment score at follow-up T4 (OMT group, p = 0.000; Vojta group, p = 0.015). The OMT group also reached significance in the between-group comparison at T2 (p = 0.031) and T3 (p = 0.000). The treatment effects of both groups converged at follow-up T4.
