As an alternative to manual stretching, the aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of using neural/visceral manipulation as a safe and effective intervention to increase neck range of motion of infants with congenital muscular torticollis. [Participants and Methods] Ten 4-month old infants with congenital muscular torticollis received eight sessions of neural/visceral manipulation administered for 30-50 minutes without observed pain. Specific palpation techniques addressed restricted tissue areas of neck, head, trunk and extremities. Neck rotation and lateral flexion were assessed by still photography and a computer program calculating ROM angles before, immediately following, and 4 months post intervention. Motor development and social competence were monitored over time using the Alberta Infant Motor Scale and Bayley-III Social Emotional Scale. [Results] Results of analysis of variances revealed significant improvements in passive and active neck rotation and lateral flexion. Significant increases were also found on the Alberta Infant Motor Scale and Bayley-III Social-Emotional scale. [Conclusion] Neural/visceral manipulation can be used safely in infants with congenital muscular torticollis to improve neck range of motion.

“…Still photography methodology similar to Christensen et al 39) was used to document active and passive cervical rotation. Two dots 1 cm in diameter were placed on the top of the infant's head as landmarks to measure head rotation and accommodate the variety of head shapes.…”

“…It is considered that cervical ROM should be easily estimated via video during a videocall [ 47 ]. However, there is an absence of validity studies for visual estimation of the cervical ROM via video [ 48 ]. Our study analyzed the validity of online visual inspection of the active ROM compared with the CROM.…”

“…Both Kinect and video recording require that the tracked region face the sensor or be visible to the camera. Christensen et al [ 48 ] achieved greater accuracy with a 2D video analysis via software than visual estimation for lateral flexion and right rotation in infants. However, their visual estimation of the ROM was consistent and the time and technology necessary for the evaluation was lower than with video analysis via software.…”

“…On the other hand, the singularity of our study is that visual inspection of the cervical spine is performed via online. The current implication of technology in physiotherapy has driven investigators to compare visual inspection with bidimensional analysis [ 48 ], photography [ 27 ], photogrammetry [ 53 ] or 3D systems of movement analysis obtaining a considerable reliability [ 9 , 37 , 38 , 46 ], although their clinical utility becomes challenged as they require complicated and expensive measurement procedures [ 9 , 54 ]. In contrast, our study has demonstrated the possibility of using online visual inspection for determining the quantity of movement in a reliable way without having a complicated and expensive measurement protocol.…”

Interexaminer Reliability and Validity of Quantity of Cervical Mobility during Online Dynamic Inspection

et al. 2022

Background: Physical therapists routinely measure range of motion (ROM) of cervical spine. The reliability of the cervical range of motion (CROM) device has been demonstrated in several studies, but current evidence on the validity and reliability of the visual inspection is contradictory. The aim is to assess the validity and interexaminer reliability of the online visual inspection of active cervical ROM in physiotherapy students. Methods: Flexion, extension, both lateral flexions and rotations of a single participant were measured using CROM. Online visual inspection of 18 physiotherapy students against CROM was registered. Results: The validity, against CROM, of the online visual inspection of the active ROM ranged from good to excellent (Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) 0.83–0.97). Interexaminer reliability of the online visual inspection had favorable outcomes in all cervical movements in the three physiotherapy courses (ICC 0.70–0.96), with the visual inspection of the rotations being the most reliable (ICC 0.93–0.97). Interexaminer reliability of the classification of mobility was poor to good (Kappa 0.03–0.90). Conclusions: The interexaminer reliability and validity of the quantification of active cervical movement during online visual inspection was shown to be good to excellent for flexion-extension and lateral flexions and excellent for rotations.
