Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of time to initiation of rehabilitation on the outcomes of treatment in congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) cases between 0-96 months of age and to evaluate the place of rehabilitation in cases with CMT. Materials and Methods: In our study, 24 patients with CMT were evaluated retrospectively. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to their age on admission; group 1- between 0-6 months of age and group 2- between 6-96 months of age. The demographic features, deformities and type of CMT were assessed. Passive and active range of motion (ROM) of cervical lateral rotation, passive ROM of cervical flexion and extension and head tilt were measured using a goniometer. The head tilt at 1-15˚ was evaluated as mild, 16-30˚ as moderate, and >30˚ as severe. The difference between the heights of the shoulders was measured in centimeters. The parents of both groups were given training for passive and active positioning, stretching and cervical ROM exercises. The patients were followed bimonthly for total of 6 months. Results: Of 24 patients included in the study, 13 (54.2%) were in group 1, 11 (45.8%) were in group 2. According to head tilt degree before treatment, 5 (38.5%) patients were mild, 6 (46.1%) were moderate and 2 (15.4%) were severe in group 1; 3 (27.3%) were moderate, 8 (72.7%) were severe in group 2. After treatment, full cervical ROM and neutral position of head were achieved in all patients in group 1 and in 7 (63.6%) in group 2. Conclusion: The necessity for surgery can be decreased in all patients with CMT, even if diagnosed in late childhood, if rehabilitation program is applied at least for six months before planning an operation.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı konjenital müsküler tortikollis (KMT) tanısı ile rehabilitasyon programına alınan, yaşı 0-96 ay arası olan olgularda rehabilitasyona başlama zamanının tedavi sonuçlarına etkisini ve KMT’de rehabilitasyonun yerini değerlendirmekti. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamızda, kliniğimize KMT tanısı ile başvuran 24 hasta retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Hastalar, başvuru yaşına göre 0-6 ay arası grup 1, 6-96 ay arası grup 2 olmak üzere iki gruba ayrıldı. Hastalara ait demografik özellikler ve deformiteler ile KMT türü belirlendi. Gonyometre kullanılarak pasif ve aktif olarak servikal lateral rotasyon, pasif servikal flaksiyon ve ekstansiyon eklem hareket açıklığı (EHA) ve baş tilti derecesi ölçüldü. Baş tilti 1°-15° ise ‘hafif’, 16°-30° arasında ise ‘orta’, 30° ve üzerinde ise ‘ağır’ derecede tutulum olarak değerlendirildi. Her iki omuz arasındaki yükseklik farkı santimetre (cm) cinsinden ölçüldü. Her iki grubun bakıcılarına aktif ve pasif pozisyonlama eğitimi, germe ve servikal EHA egzersizleri verildi. Hastalar 2 ayda bir olmak üzere 6 ay takip edildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan 24 hastanın 13’ü (%54,2) Grup 1’de, 11’i (%45,8) Grup 2’de idi. Ölçülen baş tilti derecesine göre tedavi öncesi grup 1 hastaların 5’inde (%38,5) hafif, 6’sında (%46,1) orta, 2’sinde (%15,4) ağır, grup 2 hastaların ise 3’ünde (%27,3) orta, 8’inde (%72,7) ağır derecede tutulum saptandı. Tedavi sonrası, grup 1’deki hastaların tamamında, grup 2’de 7’sinde (%63,6) tam servikal EHA ve nötral baş pozisyonu elde edildi. Sonuç: KMT geç çocukluk döneminde tespit edilse bile tüm hastalara, operasyon düşünülmeden önce en az 6 ay rehabilitasyon programı uygulanması cerrahi tedavi gereksinimini azaltabilmektedir.
