Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Infants with and without torticollis will be measured at different time points to assess their passive cervical spine range of motion (pCROM).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Infants at the age of 2 to 12 month will be measured at several time points to assess their passive cervical range of motion. One group will include healthy subjects, the other group infants with a diagnosed torticollis. Healthy subjects will be measured at the age of 3, 4, 6 and 9 months. Infants diagnosed with torticollis, at their visit at a Chiropractor and one week later.
