Fetal aortic valvuloplasty (FV) aims to prevent fetal valve stenosis progressing into hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), which results in postnatal univentricular (UV) circulation. Despite increasing numbers of FVs performed worldwide, the natural history disease life remains poorly defined. The primary aim this study was describe stenosis, and a secondary test previously published criteria designed identify cases emerging HLHS with potential for biventricular (BV) outcome after FV.From...
Recently it has been claimed that infants with congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) are at risk of a delay in early motor milestones. The aim the present study was to investigate whether CMT indeed comparison control group healthy infants. A second time spent prone position and plagiocephaly had any influence on development. Eighty‐two (35 females 47 males) were compared 40 (18 22 males). Motor development assessed Alberta Infant scale (AIMS). Multiple regression showed significantly lower...
Fetal aortic stenosis may progress to hypoplastic left heart syndrome. valvuloplasty (FV) has been proposed improve hemodynamics and maintain biventricular (BV) circulation.

Hypermobility was assessed according Del Mar scale, balance Bruininks-Oseretsky test motor proficiency, daily life activities frequency questionnaire. Pain physical activity were diary. Results: comparison group,...
Infants with congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) often have an imbalance in muscle function the lateral flexors of neck, and need for a valid reliable assessment tool to determine these muscles is essential. The uprighting response used examine strengthen sternocleidomastoid muscle. A Muscle Function Scale (MFS) has been refined several years clinic infants CMT. MFS describes infant's neck through ordered categorical scores. aim this study was find out if scale reliable. panel experts...
Objective To investigate the time needed to achieve a good result in range of motion (ROM) neck for infants with congenital muscular torticollis (CMT). Design Comparison stretching treatments performed by physical therapists and parents. Participants Twenty (10 female 10 male) CMT. Method The were randomly assigned 1 2 groups. Stretching treatment was continued until ROM obtained both rotation (≥90°) lateral flexion (no side difference). main outcome measurement . evaluated flexion, muscle...
This study focuses on the treatment of muscle function imbalance and asymmetric head posture for infants with congenital muscular torticollis (CMT). The aim this was to compare time groups different strategies training. goal achieve a symmetric posture. Thirty-seven were randomised three groups. Group I treated only handling strategies. II got same but also received specific strength exercises. III as group provided weekly training by physiotherapist. Mean age at start 4.5 months age, range...
