Résumé
To describe demographic factors, baseline characteristics, and physical therapy episodes in infants with congenital muscular torticollis (CMT), examine groups based on physical therapy completion, and identify implications for clinical practice. Retrospective data were extracted from a single-site registry of 445 infants with CMT. Most infants were male (57%), Caucasian (63%), and firstborn (50%), with torticollis detected by 3 months old (89%) with a left (51%), mild (72%) CMT presentation. Cervical range of motion (ROM) limitations were greatest in passive lateral flexion and active rotation. Sixty-seven percent of infants completed an episode of physical therapy, 25% completed a partial episode, and 8% did not attend visits following the initial examination. Age at examination, ROM, and muscle function differed significantly between groups. Physical therapists may use clinical registry data to inform practice for timing of referral, frequency of care, and clinician training to manage infants with CMT.
