ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore any effect of kinesio taping on the head and neck mobility of children with congenital muscular torticollis.Methods:A total of 52 children with congenital muscular torticollis were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group, each of 26. All were given 20 minutes of routine rehabilitation training daily, 5 days a week for 4 weeks. The treatment group was additionally taped up with kinesio tape for no more than 48 hours once every 3 days for 4 weeks. Before and after the treatment the angles of head tilt and neck lateral flexion and the gaps in left and right neck rotation were measured for both groups.Results:Significant improvement was observed in both groups but there was significantly more improvement among the treatment group. The treatment had a cure rate (46.15%) and an improvement rate (50.00%) significantly superior to those of the control group and a significantly lower rate of ineffectiveness.Conclusion:Kinesio taping along with routine rehabilitation training can better improve the head and neck mobility of children with congenital muscular torticollis.
