简要总结
This study investigates the effect of soft tissue mobilization in babies with neck muscle problem. Babies received soft tissue mobilization or home exercises program
详细描述
Objectives: Investigating the effectiveness of soft tissue mobilization in babies with congenital muscular torticollis and deformational plagiocephaly. Design: A Randomized controlled trial design Setting: University research department Participants:Babies with congenital muscular torticollis, aged between 0-6 months, who had a head tilt from 5 to 20 degrees and no other health problems were the participants of the study. The study included two groups; home program group was seen once every six weeks, the study group in addition to the home program also received soft tissue mobilization three times in a week. All groups received a baseline home program consisting of positioning, handling strategies plus stretching, stretching and strengthening exercises, environmental adaptations and classical massage. Babies were allocated to two groups by sealed envelope randomization. Babies were evaluated initially, at sixth weeks, at 12 weeks and follow-up at 18 weeks with muscle function scale, head tilt and ear shift assessments which included photographing method, neck normal range of motions (lateral flexion and rotation) and plagiocephaly severity scale

结局指标
主要结局
Head tilt with photographic method
时间窗: Change from Baseline in head tilt at 6th weeks of treatment, at the end of the treatment/12th weeks, at follow up/18th weeks
Baby lies supine while taking photo of baby's habitual head position. The angle between the two lines, connecting eyes pupils and connecting acromions, is assessed.
plagiocephaly severity scale
时间窗: Change from Baseline in at 6th weeks of treatment, at the end of the treatment/12th weeks, at follow up/18th weeks
scale which has 5 subgroups as following frontal asymmetry, occipital flattening, head tilt, fascial asymmetry, ear asymmetry.
次要结局
- Passive range of motion(Change from Baseline in at 6th weeks of treatment, at the end of the treatment/12th weeks, at follow up/18th weeks)
