Article Synopsis
- The study examined the effectiveness of neural/visceral manipulation as an alternative to manual stretching for improving neck mobility in infants with congenital muscular torticollis.
- Ten 4-month-old infants participated in eight sessions of manipulation, which were conducted without causing pain, and specific techniques targeted restricted areas.
- Results showed significant improvements in neck rotation and flexibility, as well as positive developments in motor skills and social competence over time.
The purpose of this case study series was to assess improvement in the quality of life, function, and colonic motility before and after visceral and neural manipulation in five children with cerebral palsy and chronic constipation who had Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels of IV and V. Quality of life and function were assessed using the CPCHILD and the WeeFIM respectively. The CPCHILD and WeeFIM were administered at baseline before the intervention, after the intervention, and again at least three months post intervention.
