Predictors of Length of Physical Therapy Care for Infants With Congenital Torticollis.
Pediatr Phys Ther
December 2024
Department of Physical Therapy, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA (Drs Aker and Pierce).; The Department of Interprofessional Health and Aging Studies, The University of Indianapolis, Indianapolis, Indiana (Drs Aker, Martin, and Moore).
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.
Recurrent cervicothoracic spontaneous epidural hematoma in a toddler.
Childs Nerv Syst
November 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, Jichi Medical University, Shimotsuke, Tochigi, Japan.
Background: Recurrent cases of spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma are rare, and there are no reports of spontaneous resolution and recurrence in toddlers.
Case Presentation: We present a case of a toddler with a cervical spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma, characterized by three episodes of sudden-onset transient torticollis with subsequent natural recovery. The patient was referred to our hospital after the second episode, during which symptoms were already improving.
Early pain findings in infants with brachial plexus birth injury: Relationship with function and comorbidities, and cut-off point for fractures.
Early Hum Dev
December 2024
Hacettepe University, Faculty of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation, Ankara, Turkey. Electronic address:
Background: Infants with birth brachial plexus injury (BPBI) may have various comorbidities such as fractures, torticollis, plagiocephaly, central nervous system disorders. In infants with BPBI, it is important to identify fractures, which are common among comorbidities, objectively assess pain, and investigate factors that may be associated with pain.
Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the pain level, comorbidities, and motor function in infants with BPBI and to examine the relationship between these parameters.

Article Synopsis
- - Positional plagiocephaly is the most common form of craniofacial malformation in infants, often linked to factors like sleeping on their back, multiple births, and congenital issues like muscular torticollis.
- - Diagnosis is made through physical exams and, in more severe cases, 3D imaging techniques are used to assess the skull shape noninvasively.
- - Treatment usually involves repositioning the infant, with orthotic therapy for more serious cases, showing best results when started between 4 to 7 months of age, lasting around 2 to 6 months.
