This course will concentrate on effective treatment schemes for infants and young children with a diagnosis of torticollis with or without plagiocephaly, including challenging cases. Participants will analyze the implications of torticollis, sleep posture and increased use of positional devices on infant postural and motor development. Clinical pathways for management of infant head shape, diagnostic procedures and surgical intervention will be appraised. Functional, clinically oriented evaluation and evidence based treatment strategies that can be integrated into play will be provided. Emphasis on home exercise programs and effective strategies to team with parents to ensure follow through will be explored. Learning opportunities for therapists and medical professionals involved in pediatrics will transpire through lecture, case reports, group problem solving and video review.
