The sit-up test,a new evaluation method for differentiating between ocular and orthopaedic torticollis,was evaluated against the monocular occlusion test,using results of three-step testing for standardization.The study group consisted of 31 patients with torticollis between the ages of 4 and 12.5 years.Subjects were selected based only on their ability to cooperate with three-step testing.Three-step testing identified 27 of the 31 patients as having ocular torticollis,with the remaining 4 having an orthopaedic etiology.Sit-up testing correctly identified all 27 ocular torticollis patients,with no false positives or false nagatives.Monocular occlusion testing detected at best 22(81.4%)of the ocular torticollis patients,with no false positives. |
