Support Vector Regression-based Model to Analyze Prognosis of Infants with Congenital Muscular Torticollis

摘要

ObjectivesCongenital muscular torticollis, a common disorder that refers to the shortening of the sternocleidomastoid in infants, is sensitive to correction through physical therapy when treated early. If physical therapy is unsuccessful, surgery is required. In this study, we developed a support vector regression model for congenital muscular torticollis to investigate the prognosis of the physical therapy treatent in infants.
