Perception-Action Approach Versus Standard Care for Infants With Congenital Muscular Torticollis: A Pilot Single-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objective: The purposes of this pilot study were to compare short-term outcomes of the Perception-Action Approach (P-AA) and standard care based on 5 components of first-choice interventions listed in the congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) clinical practice guideline. Changes in postural alignment, symmetrical use of both sides of the body during movement and play, gross motor development, and behavior observed during therapy were considered.

Methods: Thirty-two participants were enrolled in a 2-group (P-AA and standard care) randomized, single-blind trial with pre-posttest measures.
