Detailed 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.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: The TAMO therapy For four months, TAMO therapy will last 30 minutes every day, twice a week. The therapist first applies light loading for a short period of time to his left hemiocciput directed toward the supporting surface.	Behavioral: TAMO TAMO therapy
Experimental: Postural Control exercises For four months, posture control exercises will be taught twice a week for 30 minutes each time. Under the age of 3 months, infants were required to shift their chin as far to the affected side and upward in the supine or dominant prone posture before they could regulate their neck. Instead of passively adjusting the newborns' heads, we waited for them to actively turn toward their midline.	Behavioral: Postural Control exercises Postural Control exercises

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Goniometer [Readings were taken at baseline and four months of intervention]
It measured cervical range of motion.
Muscle function Scale: [Readings were taken at baseline and four months of intervention]
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,
