Abnormal head posture associated with high hyperopia
Journal of American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, 1998An abnormal head posture may be adopted for ocular or nonocular reasons. The most common ocular reasons are to maintain binocularity and to obtain the best possible visual acuity. Patients with undercorrected or overcorrected refractive errors have been reported to adopt a variety of head positions, thought to be an attempt to obtain the best possible ...

[Abnormal head posture is not equal to compensatory head posture].
[Zhonghua yan ke za zhi] Chinese journal of ophthalmology, 2013All head position disorders can be called abnormal head posture, but abnormal head posture is not equal to compensatory head posture. Only abnormal head posture in connection with extraocular muscle disorders can be called compensatory head posture. Compensatory head posture is usually adopted to optimize visual acuity or to obtain single binocular ...

Abnormal Head Posture due to Ocular Problems- A Review
Current Pediatric Reviews, 2009An abnormal head posture (AHP), or torticollis, is a common condition in children, with an estimated incidence of 1.3%. This condition is encountered commonly by primary care family pediatricians. AHP can be congenital or ac- quired. The cause of the AHP can be ocular, orthopedic and neurologic.

Most PCPs tend to think of orthomuscular causes for AHPs like muscular torticollis. All strabismologists know of children who were sent for physical therapy when in fact they had a fourth cranial nerve palsy. Conversely, strabismologists may tend to think that all patients with an AHP have an ocular cause. The truth lies somewhere in between.

In the conditions discussed in this chapter the head is either turned or tilted to one side, or both. The description is not comprehensive, in that abnormal posture as observed in comatose or poorly reactive patients following extensive damage to the cerebral hemispheres and/or brain stem is not analyzed. The pathophysiological mechanism underlying the

Approach to abnormal head posture
StrabismusAn abnormal head position (AHP) refers to a condition where the head is deviated from the usual, upright posture considered normal. AHPs can manifest as the chin being raised or lowered, the head tilted to the right or left, the face turned to either side, or a combination of these movements.

Abnormal ocular head postures: Part I.
Annals of ophthalmology, 1987All patients exhibiting the various types of abnormal head postures of ocular origin that were seen during the last two years are presented in order to determine the relative frequency of the different causes of these postures, and the purposes they serve. The treatment modality and results are also discussed. The manuscript is divided into four parts:
