The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of Kinesio Tape on lateral flexion and rotation range of motion of neck in infants with congenital muscular torticollis. The study was conducted on thirty infants of both sexes (14 boys and 16 girls) having congenital muscular torticollis, their ages ranged from 1 to 6 months. They were selected from Abo- Elresh teaching hospital. The selected infants were classified randomly and equally into control and study groups. Infants in control group received a designed physical therapy program for muscular torticollis, while infants in study group received Kinesio taping in addition to the same exercise program given to control group. Kinesio taping was applied by using a relaxing technique on shortened sternocleidomastoid muscle and upper trapezius. The infants were evaluated using muscle function scale and arthrodial protractor before and after eight weeks of treatment program. The results revealed significant difference when comparing the post treatment mean values of lateral flexion and rotation of neck in both groups in favor of the study group. From the obtained results of this study it could be concluded that using Kinesio taping is beneficial in treatment procedure and had significant effect on improvement range of motion and muscle function of neck in infants with congenital muscular torticollis
