“…3,6,23,39,51 Some reports have pointed to poor knowledge and awareness of the condition in parents with lower education levels. 9,60,68 There is also a question of whether some parents may be refusing recommendations because of misconceptions. 10,17,68 Another study investigated the rise in PP incidence in the state of Texas for a significant number of years following the 1992 recommendation and found that it was mainly attributed to an increase in the number of referrals, although the reason for that increase could only be speculated upon.…”

“…This called for placing infants on their stomachs while awake and overseen by the parent. The guideline was bolstered by multiple studies, 9,48,54,68 although the potential difficulty in orchestrating it among both parents and clinicians was highlighted by others. 10,17,36,68 …”

“…They found that fewer than 3 TT sessions per day, along with a poor attainment of motor milestones, had a significant association with PP. In a prospective and controlled study, Cavalier et al 9 investigated environmental factors on PP prevalence in 139 newborns. The intervention group in the study was instructed to alternate infant sleeping positions, to have prone position time while the infant was awake, to minimize time in car seats, and to promote an environment that allowed spontaneous movement.…”

Object Positional plagiocephaly (PP) has been on the rise in recent years. In this review, the authors' aim was to assess the effectiveness of current recommendations to parents on this exceedingly common problem through a comprehensive literature search. Additionally, the current treatment options and the most recent studies on PP are reviewed. Methods A search of the existing literature was conducted to obtain all relevant studies on guidelines, recommendations, parental and clinician practices, and epidemiological aspects. Results Although the incidence and risk factors for PP have been well delineated, there continues to be debates on its management and association with developmental delays. Current guidelines and recommendations on prevention set by the American Association of Pediatrics may not be easily followed by both parents and clinicians. There is also evidence that certain populations, including those with lower education, socioeconomic status, and in particular geographic regions may be more affected by the condition. Additionally, the marketing and financial aspects of PP treatments exist and should be addressed. Conclusions Better awareness and education are necessary to inform the population as a whole, although certain populations should be given special attention. Additionally, current guidelines and recommendations can be modified to foster a better grasp of the condition by both parents and clinicians. Adjusting current recommendations, introducing initiatives, and offering elaborate educational campaigns would help deliver these aims. Educating parents on PP as early as possible through clearer guidelines and close monitoring is central to preventing and managing this common condition.

“…Altı ay süreli konservatif tedaviden fayda görmeyen ve kraniyofasiyal deformitesi olan çocuklar ise cerrahiye gitmektedirler (1)(2)(3)(4). KMT için tedavi; gözlem, pasif manuel germe egzersizleri, yumuşak doku mobilizasyonları, aktif pozisyonlama, çevre düzenlemesi, dirençli vakalarda ise cerrahi müdahaleyi içermektedir (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12). Boyun hareketlerinin tedavisinde pozisyonlama da sıklıkla kullanılmaktadır (13)(14)(15)(16).…”

“…Şiddetli vakalarda ise, kask adı verilen başı şekillendirmek amacıyla kullanılan ortezler veya ciddi durumlarda ise, cerrahi gerekmektedir. Kask ile tedavi oldukça etkili olmakla birlikte, tedaviye hastanın uyumu zayıftır, pahalı bir yöntemdir ve bu nedenle aileler kask tedavisini sıklıkla reddedebilmektedirler (11,12,21). Literatür KMT'de tam iyileşme sağlandıktan sonra, bebeklerde DP'nin devam edip etmediği ve her iki probleme yönelik birleştirilmiş fizyoterapi ve rehabilitasyon programının eş zamanlı olarak problemlerde çözülme sağlayıp sağlamadığını bildirmemiştir.…”

Amaç: Bu çalışma deformasyonel plagiosefali ve konjenital musküler tortikollisin ev fizyoterapi ve rehabilitasyon programına cevabının araştırılması amacıyla planlandı. Yöntem AN INVESTIGATION OF THE RESPONSES OF CONGENITAL MUSCULAR TORTICOLLIS AND RELATED DEFORMATIONAL PLAGIOCEPHALY TO A HOME-BASED PHYSIOTHERAPY PROGRAM ORIGINAL ARTICLE ABSTRACTPurpose: This study was aimed to investigate the response of deformational plagiocephaly and congenital muscular torticollis to a home-based physiotherapy program.Methods: Thirty-two babies with congenital muscular torticollis and deformational plagiocephaly, aged between 0-6 months were the participants of the study. Babies received a home-based physiotherapy program. They were evaluated initially, at the sixth, the 12th and the 18th weeks after the first visit. Subjects were assessed using Muscle Function Scale, neck passive range of motion, and head tilt were used to evaluate congenital muscular torticollis, Plagiocephaly Severity Assessment Scale, and ear shift were used to assess deformational plagiocephaly.Results: Significant improvements were recorded for congenital muscular torticollis between initial and sixth week, the sixth and 12th weeks (p<0.05). At the 12th week, a plateau was regarding this improvement (p>0.05). Deformational plagiocephaly improvement continued between the 12th and the 18th weeks (p<0.05) after which of slight degree occipital flattening to slight degree was still not fully recovered. Conclusion:The study showed that even if congenital muscular torticollis was cured in three months, time still required for recovery of deformational plagiocephaly.
