Q

when should a PT refer a pt out for CMT

A

non-musclar causes for asym

associated conditions - cranial deformity

infant older 12 months
- facial asym or 10-15 difference in passive or active cervical rotation

7 months old with SCM mass

the size of the CMT changes

the size of the SCM mass increases

16
Q

when do we want to start intervention by

A

fist 2 months

17
Q

5 first choice interventions

A

 Neck PROM
 Neck and trunk AROM
 Development of sym movement
 Enviro adaptations
 Parent education

18
Q

can we fixed CMT in the clinic alone

A

no need to have the parent or guardian working on it as well - teach them how to do the stretches

19
Q

what show PROM test be focused on for CMT

A

stretching of the SCM

other muscle on the involved side that may be tigh - scalene, traps

20
Q

AROM strengthing CMT

A

movement in opposite direction of tightness

into the direction of limited ROM

21
Q

midline positioning CMT

A

this encourages sym movement

22
Q

what are two treatments that do not work for CMT

A

mirco current and taping

23
Q

TOT collars

A

provide a noxi stimulus to limit lateral flexion

normally seen if the impairment was caught late

must be supervised at all times

24
Q

what to refer during CMT treatment

A

no improvement in 4-6 weeks

6 month of inntervention with a plateau

25
Q

more aggressive intervention for CMT

A

bracing and surgery

need to see an ortho specialist

26
Q

when should you re-eval the pt after discharge

A

3-12 months following discharge

child starts walking

movement sym of the neck, head, trunk, limbs

developmental motor milestones

27
Q

what do we see with plagiocephaly

A

contra occipital bossing

isp frontal bossing

isp occipital flattening

if they are on the same side then it is not plagiocephaly

28
Q

what is the name of plagiocephaly assessment

A

cranial vault assessment

29
Q

in stage one and two plagiocephaly what do we see

A

no 2ndary chnages

in stage three we stage to see these chnages

30
Q

what is the worst grade for plagiocephaly

A

5

31
Q

helmet indications

A

4 - 12 this is the sweet period

32
Q

when does the greatest growth of the skull occur

A

4 -12 months

33
Q

before 4 months helmet

A

weight of helmet is too great for th child

34
Q

after 12 months helmet

A

the helmet will have little effect becasue the cranial structure are beginning to close

35
Q

what is the purpose of the plagiocephaly helmet

A

direct growth

have to wear it all day and night for it to be effective
