Developmental phase



Assessment

Primary outcomes

1. When the child rotates their head in one direction, are the hip joint and knee abduction/flexion angles of the leg on the side of the face closer to the M position standard value than those of the leg on the side of the back of the head?
2. When the child rotates their head in one direction, are the hip joint adducted/extended and the knee extended on the side of the back of the head compared to the side of the face?

Key secondary outcomes

1. Are children whose parents believe they do not have head turn preference more likely to keep their heads in a neutral position than children whose parents believe they do have such a preference
2. Are children whose parents believe they do not have head turn preference more likely to have hip and knee abduction and flexion angles closer to the M position standard values than children whose parents believe they do have such a preference
