COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Torticollis has been on the rise since the 1992 American Academy of Pediatrics’ Back-to-Sleep campaign. Therapists are instrumental in treating children with torticollis in a multitude of settings. Therapists also play a key role in increasing community awareness for the early identification and referral to therapy services.
PART A Torticollis: The Basics what Every Therapist Needs to Know provides foundational information on the etiology, evaluation, and treatment of infants with torticollis. Upon completion of this course, participants will be familiar with the types of torticollis, the Academy of Pediatrics Clinical Practice Guidelines for Congenital Muscular Torticollis, will understand the long-term implications of untreated/undertreated torticollis, and have the proper tools for evaluating infants with torticollis. Additionally, recommendations for community outreach and referrals to secondary specialist consultations will be presented.
*The material in this course is based on the information and approach previously developed and presented by Cindy Miles.
