Overview
The aim is to investigate the effectiveness of kinesiotaping application in addition to Congenital Muscular Torticollis exercise on neck joint range of motion, tilt degree and muscle function test. Research Group: In addition to the regular exercise program, patients diagnosed with Congenital Muscular Torticollis will be given kinesio taping for torticollis. Kinesio taping will be applied for 4 weeks, 5 days on and 2 days off. Control Group: Patients diagnosed with Congenital Muscular Torticollis will continue their regular exercise program. No intervention will be applied. Patients will be evaluated with neck joint range of motion, tilt degree and muscle function test before and 3 months after treatment.
Interventions
- Procedure Kinesiotaping
Kinesio Taping Method is a therapeutic tool utilised by rehabilitation specialists in all programs (paediatric, geriatric, orthopaedic, neurological, oncology and others) and levels of care (acute care, inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient, home care and Day Rehab). The idea of using elastic tape to mimic the therapist's hands was first presented by Dr Kenzo Kase in the 1970s. Since then, it became the modality used in pain management\[5\], soft tissue injury, tissues and joints malalignment, oe - Behavioral Exercise
