About this trial

The aim is to investigate the effectiveness of kinesiotaping application in addition to Congenital Muscular Torticollis exercise on neck joint range of motion, tilt degree and muscle function test. Research Group: In addition to the regular exercise program, patients diagnosed with Congenital Muscular Torticollis will be given kinesio taping for torticollis. Kinesio taping will be applied for 4 weeks, 5 days on and 2 days off. Control Group: Patients diagnosed with Congenital Muscular Torticollis will continue their regular exercise program. No intervention will be applied. Patients will be evaluated with neck joint range of motion, tilt degree and muscle function test before and 3 months after treatment.

    Procedure/Surgery

    Kinesio Taping Method is a therapeutic tool utilised by rehabilitation specialists in all programs (paediatric, geriatric, orthopaedic, neurological, oncology and others) and levels of care (acute care, inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient, home care and Day Rehab). The idea of using elastic tape to mimic the therapist's hands was first presented by Dr Kenzo Kase in the 1970s. Since then, it became the modality used in pain management\[5\], soft tissue injury, tissues and joints malalignment, oedema, and more. Kinesio Taping Method utilises four types of Kinesio Tex Tapes, each with specific properties designed for use on fragile, sensitive skin or applied with higher tensions. Kinesio Taping Method has also effectively treated animals and two special tapes are used: Kinesio Equine and Kinesio Canine. Kinesio Tex Tape contains either 100% cotton and elastic fibres or a blend of polyester and cotton with elastic fibres. The latter is preferable for Kinesio Taping application on sensitive
