ABSTRACT
Torticollis is a condition with the neck muscles that causes the head to tilt downward and lateral with transverse plane rotation. Moreover, such involvement is due to the contracture of sternocleidomastoid muscle which may cause many complications in the later stage of life such as neurological conditions from compressed nerve, chronic pain, difficulty in performing routine task etc. Therefore, immediately after the investigation conservative treatment through braces and physiotherapy play an important role in reducing the complications. The purpose of the study is to fabricate an indigenous torticollis brace to control the unwanted motion of neck and correct the deformity.
Key words: Torticollis, Torticollis brace.
