Measuring neck movement in infants with torticollis
This study tests a new way to measure how far babies can turn their heads, helping doctors better understand and treat a condition where the neck is twisted. It is for infants with torticollis who are already going to a chiropractor.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is between 3 and 8 months old

- You are willing to sign a consent form
- Your baby has no previous neck surgery or injury
- Your baby does not have other serious health conditions (like cerebral palsy) or developmental delays

This study tests whether a special kind of tape (kinesio taping) helps improve neck movement and posture in babies with a condition called congenital muscular torticollis. It may be a comfortable, drug-free way to support your child's neck and help them turn their head more easily.
This study compares two types of physical therapy for babies with congenital muscular torticollis (a tight neck muscle causing the head to tilt). One group gets standard in-person therapy, the other does therapy through video calls. The goal is to see if home-based remote sessions can be as effective as clinic visits.
This study uses technology to help predict and prevent two common baby conditions: torticollis (tight neck muscles that cause the head to tilt) and plagiocephaly (a flat spot on the head). By participating, you can help researchers find ways to catch these issues early and guide prevention.
This study tests a type of therapy that helps babies with a tight neck muscle (congenital muscular torticollis) learn to use both arms evenly while lying on their tummy. It aims to improve symmetry and head control during tummy time.
This study tests whether a special hands-on therapy (spinal manipulation) can help people with long-term neck pain. It will measure how the neck moves and whether the treatment improves movement and reduces pain.
This study tests how well wearable sensors and a simple angle measurement tool work together to measure neck motion in healthy people. If you have no neck issues, you may be eligible to help validate this technology.
