Torticollis is identified by the posture of the head and neck from a unilateral shortening of the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) causing the head to tilt in one direction and rotate in the opposing direction. This asymmetrical positioning can directly affect the child’s early motor development, specifically vision, early hand control, and reciprocal movement. This course aims to progress the participant’s knowledge of torticollis’ impact on a child beyond cervical range of motion impairments. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.

Learning Outcomes
- Participants will be able to identify at least two differential standardized testing and observational measures for the evaluation of a child (0-18 months old) with torticollis.
- Participants will be able to identify at least three signs of asymmetrical preference within early motor development for a child in supine, prone, and sitting.
- Participants will be able to identify at least two signs of torticollis and the effect on early vision development, upper extremity control, and preference, and reciprocal movement development.
- Participants will be able to identify at least three advanced treatment strategies for the progression of symmetry in early gross and fine motor development specifically for vision, upper extremity control, crawling, pulling to stand and ambulation.
- Participants will be able to screen, evaluate and implement frontline treatment strategies for the child with torticollis ranging from 0-3, 3-9, 9-16 months old, recognizing the influence of torticollis beyond cervical range of motion impairments.
