Article Evaluation

[edit]
 The introduction paragraph should be more details and explain more about what is torticollis in general. 
 In the "Physical Therapy" section, the research mentioned was not given the time/year of the study. The author only used one article as a reference for the whole section. More source should be used to increased  the reliability of the section. Moreover, the information about the treatment was not clear or specific enough which may lead to confusion in non healthcare provider readers, for example, what does active and passive means? Besides, the article should also make a statement to the readers to refer to qualify healthcare providers for appropriate treatment at the end of the section. 
 The external link labeled "Head Tilt: Causes and Treatment" given at the end of the page, below reference list, was a link to the House Rabbit Society where it talked about the cause and treatment for rabbit with head tilt. The title of the link was not clear and it did not mention it was the link to information about rabbit rather than human. Besides, the information discussed in the external link was not relevant to topic neither. Therefore, the link should be replaced with information about human torticollis instead of the current link.

The congenital muscular torticollis is the most common torticollis which present at birth.[1] Yieng (talk) 19:53, 27 September 2017 (UTC)YiengYieng (talk) 19:53, 27 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Plan: To review all the medical related external links in the article. Research more on adults idiopathic torticollis. Add more references on advocacy for physical therapy and/or chiropracty. Yieng (talk) 14:14, 28 September 2017 (UTC)YiengYieng (talk) 14:14, 28 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Week 5 plan to improve "torticollis" article: include pathophysiology of torticollis. Reciprocal inhibition is when a muscle is activated causing inhibition of its antagonist muscle. This process is thought to be disrupted in Dystonia [3] include more signs and symptoms including tremor in head, unequal shoulder heights, decreased neck movement [4] Diagnosis Section- add electromyelogram. May be used to determine which neck muscles are most affected [5] Treatment section- heat and traction modalities [6] Cdoyon1 (talk) 19:21, 7 October 2017 (UTC)Cdoyon1[reply]

Week 5: Need to include diagnoses of non-congenital torticollis and expand on the prognosis of both congenital and non-congenital torticollis. Should include a section of physical examination to determine the type of torticollis the patient has. Should include plagiocephaly as one of the possible outcome of torticollis and a link of plagiocephaly for further reference.[7] Yieng (talk) 19:31, 7 October 2017 (UTC)Yieng[reply]

Week 5 plan to improve Torticollis article In the signs and symptoms section, check to make sure that laterocollis and rotational torticollis are explained in citation 6 along with anterocollis. Citation for torticollis as a disorder itself or as symptoms in another condition, and the transition to "other symptoms" is confusing. In the Types section, it would be helpful to have a link to muscular fibrosis and fibrotic if these are not explained in the in the cited articles. Many more citations needed in this section. Aquired- citation and link for fibrodiysplasia. . citation for fibrodysplasia and spasmodic torticollis. Link to Bielschowsky test. Treatment section, link to TOT collar (picture?). Physical therapy, add a picture to show a recommended stretch. Surgery section, links to Diazapam and Botulinum toxin. Diagnosis section, needs more citations and cleaning up of vague statements.

Peter, thank you for your suggestion. I will look into it. Yieng (talk) 16:21, 11 November 2017 (UTC)YiengYieng (talk) 16:21, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]


Physical therapists often encourage Parents and caregivers of children with Torticollis to modify the environment to improve neck movements and position. Modifications may include:

  • Adding neck supports to the car seat to attain optimal neck alignement
  • Reducing time spent in a single position
  • Using toys to encourage the child to look in the direction of limited neck movement
