Introdução: O torcicolo muscular congénito (TCM) é caracterizado por um encurtamento do músculo esternocleidomastóideo (ECM), com ou sem massa palpável, provocando uma flexão lateral da cabeça e uma rotação contralateral da cervical relativamente ao lado afetado. Objetivo: O objetivo desta revisão bibliográfica foi compilar estudos randomizados controlados que abordem o efeito de diferentes intervenções fisioterapêuticas no tratamento do TMC. Metodologia: foi realizada uma pesquisa computorizada nas bases de dados PubMed e PEDro com o objetivo de encontrar estudos que aplicassem intervenções fisioterapêuticas no tratamento do TMC em bebés até 12 meses. Resultados: foram incluídos neste estudo de revisão 6 artigos randomizados controlados envolvendo um somatório de 224 bebés, onde foram analisadas diferentes técnicas tais como mobilização de tecidos moles, kinesiology taping (KT), método de Votja e microcorrentes. Conclusão: a intervenção fisioterapêutica pode ser uma mais valia no tratamento do torcicolo muscular congénito, nomeadamente o efeito imediato do KT no desequilíbrio muscular, método de Votja e mobilização de tecidos moles na correção postural e microcorrentes na amplitude de movimento e espessura do ECM.
Introduction: Congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) is characterized by shortening of the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle, with or without palpable mass, causing lateral flexion of the head and contralateral rotation of the cervical relative to the affected side. Objective: The aim of this review was to research randomized controlled studies that analyzed the effect of different physiotherapy interventions on CMT. Methodology: a computerized search was carried out in PubMed and PEDro databases in order to find studies that applied physical therapy interventions in the treatment of CMT in babies aged less than or equal to 12 months. Results: 6 randomized controlled trials involving a sum of 224 babies were included in this review study where different techniques such as soft tissue mobilization, kinesiology taping (KT), Votja's method and microcurrents were analyzed. Conclusion: physiotherapy intervention has promising results in the treatment of CMT, namely the immediate effect of KT on muscle imbalance, Votja's method and soft tissue mobilization in postural correction and microcurrents in the range of motion and thickness of the SCM.
