Abstract

Purpose: The purposes of this case report were to (1) highlight the use and efficacy of the Tubular Orthosis for Torticollis (TOT) Collar in a prolonged and complex episode of care for an infant with congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) and (2) describe an infant with CMT receiving a physical therapy episode of care interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to use of supplemental interventions.

Summary of key points: The patient presented was an infant with CMT who received physical therapy treatment, including the TOT Collar, to resolve all symptoms.

Statement of conclusions: The TOT Collar helped achieve midline head position after all treatment options were exhausted at the end of a lengthy episode of care impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Recommendation for clinical practice: The TOT Collar may be an appropriate supplemental intervention choice for infants with CMT whose symptoms do not resolve with first-choice interventions.

在复杂的先天性肌肉性歪颈伴有持续性头部后仰病例中使用 TOT 颈圈

目的：本病例报告的目的是：（1）强调在对一名患有先天性肌肉萎缩症（CMT）的婴儿进行长期、复杂的护理过程中，管状矫形器（TOT）项圈的使用和疗效；（2）描述一名患有CMT的婴儿在接受物理治疗的过程中，因COVID-19大流行而中断护理，导致使用了补充干预措施：病人是一名患有 CMT 的婴儿，他接受了包括 TOT 颈圈在内的物理治疗，以消除所有症状：结论陈述：受 COVID-19 大流行的影响，在漫长的治疗过程结束后，在用尽所有治疗方案后，TOT 颈圈帮助患者实现了头部中线位置：临床实践建议：对于症状无法通过首选干预措施得到缓解的 CMT 婴儿，TOT 颈圈可能是一种合适的补充干预选择。

期刊介绍： Pediatric Physical Therapy is an indexed international journal, that publishes peer reviewed research related to the practice of physical therapy for children with movement disorders. The editorial board is comprised of an international panel of researchers and clinical scholars that oversees a rigorous peer review process. The journal serves as the official journal for the pediatric physical therapy professional organizations in the Netherlands, Switzerland, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States. The journal includes articles that support evidenced based practice of physical therapy for children with neuromuscular, musculoskeletal, cardiorespiratory and developmental conditions that lead to disorders of movement, and research reports that contribute to the foundational sciences of pediatric physical therapy, ranging from biomechanics and pediatric exercise science to neurodevelopmental science. To these ends the journal publishes original research articles, systematic reviews directed to specific clinical questions that further the science of physical therapy, clinical guidelines and case reports that describe unusual conditions or cutting edge interventions with sound rationale. The journal adheres to the ethical standards of theInternational Committee of Medical Journal Editors.
