Congenital Muscular Torticollis is usually discovered in the first 6 to 8 weeks of life. It is characterized by a contracture of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, causing the head to be laterally flexed to the affected side and rotated to the opposite shoulder. If uncorrected, this posture may lead to plagiocephaly and a high thoracic scoliosis. The TOT Collar use is added to the conservative treatment of infants with congenital muscular torticollis. The TOT Collar is designed to provide a stimulus to the lateral aspect of the skull. The user moves away from this stimulus towards a new central corrected position. Adoption of a new, normal head position provides the ability to reset perception of horizontal, and so maintain the corrected head position.
