Effectiveness of Kinesio Taping in Patients with Congenital Muscular 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.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Being followed up with a diagnosis of Congenital Muscular Torticollis
• The family's willingness to participate in the study

Exclusion Criteria:

• Presence of cardiopulmonary disease and musculoskeletal deformity that will prevent exercise
