Effect Of Postural Control Exercise Versus¬¬ Tscharnuter Akademie For Motor Organization (TAMO) Therapy On Range Of Motion And Motor Function In Children With Congenital Muscular Torticollis

A randomized control trial was conducted through convenient sampling. 18 subjects were randomly allocated into two groups, group A received postural control exercises in addition to conventional therapy, while Group B received TAMO therapy along with conventional therapy. analysis.

Torticollis is common in children and can be congenital or acquired. Acquired cases can result from neck muscles or bone injuries. Though distressing for parents, it usually improves over time. Treatment includes postural control exercise and TAMO therapy, along with conventional treatment. To compare the effects of TAMO therapy versus postural control exercises on children with congenital muscular torticollis on cervical range of motion. A randomized control trial was conducted through convenient sampling. Eighteen subjects were randomly allocated into two groups; Group A received postural control exercises in addition to conventional therapy, while group B received TAMO therapy along with conventional therapy.
