Purpose: This study explored whether the type of torticollis, amount of tummy time or container time, participant age at examination, and Alberta Infant Motor Scales score influence the length of physical therapy care for infants with torticollis.
Methods: Data for 149 participants were extracted from medical records for infants with torticollis who received care between November 2018 and November 2021.
Results: Statistically significant correlations were found between length of care (LOC) and torticollis type, age at examination, active range of motion rotation deficit, and passive range of motion rotation deficit.
Article Synopsis
- Climate change is causing shifts in animal habitats, particularly affecting the distribution of threatened marine species like whale sharks.
- Projections indicate that by 2100, whale sharks could lose more than 50% of their core habitat in some areas, with significant geographic shifts that could place them in closer proximity to large ships.
- The increase in whale shark interaction with shipping is expected to be dramatically higher under high emission scenarios compared to sustainable development, highlighting the urgency for better climate-threat predictions in conservation strategies for endangered marine life.
Unlabelled: This case study demonstrates that craniocervical spinal alignment with the EPIC technique spinal procedure appears to have a potential positive impact on ocular function. This paper will report the case of a patient with cranial nerve VI palsy and dizziness, and the clinical improvements following treatment with the soundwave technology of the EPIC technique spinal procedure [1].
Objective: To report the case of a patient with cranial nerve VI (CN VI) palsy and the clinical changes that occurred after receiving treatment using the EPIC (Evolutionary Percussion Instrument Corrections) technique spinal procedure.
