Conservative Management of Congenital Muscular Torticollis: An Evidence-Based Algorithm and Preliminary Treatment Parameter Recommendations.
Purpose: To present an algorithm with accompanying treatment parameters for the management of congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) based on the best available literature. Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, MEDLINE, CINHAL, and Cochrane databases was conducted to identify evidence to guide the...

Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, MEDLINE, CINHAL, and Cochrane databases was conducted to identify evidence to guide the conservative management of CMT. Results: An evidence-based algorithm was created based on three prognostic factors that influence treatment duration and outcome, including a sternocleidomastoid fibrotic mass, passive range of motion rotation deficit, and age at initiation of treatment. Preliminary treatment parameter recommendations for clinic and home programming accompany the algorithm. Conclusion: Use of the proposed evidence-based algorithm with accompanying preliminary treatment parameter recommendations may improve consistency of care and outcomes for infants with CMT. While a higher level of evidence supports the three prognostic factors utilized in the algorithm, research gaps continue to exist with regards to treatment parameters. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: algorithm research systematic review tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
