“…To allow for unrestricted symmetric movements and to prevent a fixed torticollis, scoliosis and head deformity, most infants with postural asymmetry are treated early. There are different methods with are based largely on empirical evidence and supported by few studies; they include stretching, positioning, handling, physical, manual and microcurrent therapy 8 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ) . There is also a randomised trial which supports the therapeutic efficacy of osteopathic treatment 15 ) .…”

Vojta therapy and neurodevelopmental treatment in children with infantile postural asymmetry: a randomised controlled trial

[Purpose] Physical therapy is an acknowledged and frequently applied method for infantile postural asymmetry. However, there is not yet sufficient evidence for its effectiveness. [Subjects and Methods] In a randomised controlled trial, the effect of Vojta therapy versus Neurodevelopmental treatment is assessed in infants with postural asymmetry. 65 infants with postural asymmetry were recruited. 37 infants aged six to eight weeks (mean 7.38) were found to be eligible and randomly assigned to two groups, with 19 receiving Vojta and 18 Neurodevelopmental treatment. Using a standardised and blinded video-based assessment, we documented restriction in head rotation and convexity of the spine in prone and supine position before and after therapy. A reduction of at least four points (range of scale 20 points) in postural asymmetry was regarded as a clinically relevant change. [Results] On average a four-point reduction was achieved in both groups within eight weeks. A mean difference (pre-post) between the groups of −2.96 points in favour of Vojta therapy was observed. [Conclusion] While both Neurodevelopmental treatment and Vojta are effective in the treatment of infantile postural asymmetry and comparably well applied by the parents, therapeutic effectiveness is significant greater within the Vojta group.

“…1 Spinal manipulative therapy including manipulation and mobilization of the cervical spine in children seems to be a safe treatment. [15][16][17] During 104 years of scientific publications based on a systematic review, 9 cases were reported with serious adverse events. 18 A review of the literature was done using the PubMed database and Google Scholar using keywords such as mobilization, anesthesia, and infantile torticollis.…”

Objective: The purpose of this report is to describe the manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) treatment of 6 infants with newborn torticollis with a segmental dysfunction at C1/C2. Clinical Features: Six infants aged 4 1/2 to 15 months previously diagnosed with newborn torticollis were referred to a doctor of chiropractic owing to a failure to respond adequately to previous conservative therapies. Common physical findings were limited range of motion of the upper cervical spine. Radiographs demonstrated rotational malpositions and translation of atlas on axis in all 6 infants, and 1 had a subluxation of the C1/C2 articulation. Interventions and Outcome: Selection was based on complexity and variety of different clinical cases qualifying for MUA. Treatment consisted of 1 mobilization and was performed in the operating room of a children's hospital by a certified chiropractic physician with the author assisting. Along with the chiropractor and his assistant, a children's anesthesiologist, 1 to 2 operating nurses, a children's radiologist, and in 1 case a pediatric surgeon were present. Before the mobilization, plain radiographs of the cervico-occipital area were taken. Three infants needed further investigation by a pediatric computed tomography scan of the area because of asymmetric bony conditions on the plain radiographs. Follow-up consultations at 2, 3, 5, or 6 weeks were done. Patient records were analyzed for restriction at baseline before MUA compared with after MUA treatment for active rotation, passive rotation, and passive rotation in full flexion of the upper cervical spine. All 3 measurements showed significant differences. The long-term outcome data was collected via phone calls to the parents at 6 to 72 months. The initial clinical improvements were maintained. Conclusion: These 6 infants with arthrogenic newborn torticollis, who did not respond to previous conservative treatment methods, responded to MUA.
