Sadness and quadriceps refer to excessive muscle tension or shortening and symptoms in the shape of the head. Although no exact cause has been defined, it is known that it occurs after childbirth or in the process.
Professor Lee Yoo-kyung of the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at Ewha Womans University Seoul Hospital said, `We need treatment suitable for the head of the child,' and `Sadu can be corrected at a medical institution that can provide professional rehabilitation treatment.'
Sadness (斜頸) is a symptom in which the child's head is tilted to one side and the chin is seen toward the other side, and when seated, a hard lump that falls to one side or does not move around the child's neck is touched. Because of the sad scene, the child sleeps only on one side, so one side of the back of the head may be flattened.
The most common cause of death is excessive contraction of one neck muscle due to damage to neck muscles during childbirth or fetuses, and it may be due to abnormalities in neck muscles or nerve function (postural death). In addition, if the child's eyes are strabismus, it may occur, and if the neck bone is not properly formed and the shape is abnormal, it may appear.
Professor Lee Yoo-kyung explained, "According to the direction in which the child's head is bent, the child's head is guided by a toy or positioned, and when breastfeeding, the child with the left oblique turns his head to the left and the child with the right oblique turns to the right to feed breast milk. Rehabilitation treatment is performed to strengthen the muscles of the neck by lying on his side and to restore the range of movement of the neck even when he is lying on his stomach."
The head of the 斜 is a phenomenon in which the baby's head is continuously pressed in a specific position, causing one side of the skull to be flattened, usually due to the habit of sleeping in a specific position or the behavior of leaning on the head frequently.
In children with lethargy, postural quadriceps are often caused by the habit of looking only at one side. In this case, since complications such as facial asymmetry can be accompanied along with head pressing, early education of guardians such as posture correction is necessary.
Professor Lee Yoo-kyung said "In the case of the head, if the degree is severe, the treatment using a helmet can improve the effect. It can be said that the best time for treatment is mainly between 5 and 6 months. However, using a helmet must be approached carefully, and medical judgment is required.'
