  • Title: Measurement of head-turn in ocular torticollis.
    Author: Spierer A, Barak A.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg Lasers; 1997 May; 28(5):424-5. PubMed ID: 9150527.
    Abstract:
    There is a need for a simple and accurate method to measure head-turn in patients who suffer from torticollis secondary to ocular disease. In the technique described here, a fixation object is moved from a point in front of the patient to a point at which the patient's face is straight. The distance that the object is moved is proportional to the amount of head-turn the patient has. With a simple mathematical calculation, the angle of head-turn can be determined, even during a routine clinical evaluation.
