characterized by shortening of the Sternocleidomastoid muscle among
infants or children. Physical characteristics of this muscular condition
are tilting of the ipsilateral head, rotation of the face and the chin
towards the opposite side. The purpose of this study is to find out the
prevalence of CMT in Chilaw Provincial area of Sri Lanka.
Method: Data was obtained by the past medical records of
paediatric patients who attended the Physiotherapy department of
Chilaw General Hospital since 2015 to 2018.
Results: Females are more prone for developing congenital
muscular torticollis and it counts for 55%. Mostly affected site is Left
side. The relationship between the age at the first visit and the recovery
time is not significant and the reason may be the severity of the
condition as it varies.
Conclusion: There should be evaluation criteria to measure
the severity of the condition within the health field to predict the
duration of the treatment period and the frequency of the treatment.
