Torticollis → Mechanism, Pathophysiology, & Effects in Infants

The video tutorial discusses congenital muscular torticollis (CMT), a condition involving the sternocleidomastoid muscle, leading to neck positioning issues in infants. It covers the three types of CMT: nodular, muscular, and postural, and their characteristics. The tutorial also explains the association between CMT and deformational plagiocephaly, a cranial deformation resulting in a flat spot on the head. The video emphasizes the importance of understanding the muscle's action and the resulting head positioning to identify and manage these conditions effectively.

What is postural CMT and how does it differ from the other types?

How does congenital muscular torticollis relate to cranial deformation?

What is the significance of the side of the occiput in relation to deformational plagiocephaly?
