Congenital Torticollis

The aim is to investigate the effectiveness of kinesiotaping application in addition to Congenital Muscular Torticollis exercise on neck joint range of motion, tilt degree and muscle function test. Research Group: In addition to the regular exercise program, patients diagnosed with Congenital Muscular Torticollis will be given kinesio taping for torticollis. Kinesio taping will be applied for 4 weeks, 5 days on and 2 days off. Control Group: Patients diagnosed with Congenital Muscular Torticollis will continue their regular exercise program. No intervention will be applied. Patients will be evaluated with neck joint range of motion, tilt degree and muscle function test before and 3 months after treatment.

This study aims to investigate the differences in muscle recruitment of the diaphragm (assessed using ultrasound), the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) and trunk muscles (both measured via surface electromyography (sEMG)), during loaded breathing training performed on both stable and unstable surfaces. The goal is to understand the interaction between the inspiratory and trunk muscles during Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) across these two surface conditions.
