Cosmetic and cognitive outcomes of positional plagiocephaly treatment.
PURPOSE Positional plagiocephaly is an acquired deformation of an intrinsically normal infant skull by sustained or excessive extrinsic forces. Non-surgical techniques include counter-positioning, supervised prone time and orthotic molding for more refractory cases. Long-term effects of positional plagiocephaly on development remain undefined, and this study evaluated cosmetic and cognitive out...
متن کاملHelmet Therapy for Positional Cranial Deformities in Children
Positional cranial deformities are a group of disorders that result in asymmetrical cranial vault due to the application of prolonged exterior pressure on the skull. These can be classified as deformational plagiocephaly, deformational brachycephaly and deformational scaphocephaly, in order of frequency. Clinical awareness of the condition has increased due to its increased incidence resulting ...
متن کاملPositional plagiocephaly.
Cranial asymmetry occurring as a result of forces that deform skull shape in the supine position is known as deformational plagiocephaly. The risk of plagiocephaly may be modified by positioning the baby on alternate days with the head to the right or the left side, and by increasing time spent in the prone position during awake periods. When deformational plagiocephaly is already present, phys...
متن کاملShape Descriptors and Automatic Severity Quantification for Deformational Brachycephaly
Deformational brachycephaly is a non-synostotic (or positional) flattening of the head that has largely been regarded as a cosmetic disease by clinicians. It is closely related to deformational plagiocephaly, both of which, being positional diseases, have increased in frequency considerably since the introduction of the “Back to Sleep” campaign, a largely successful attempt to prevent Sudden In...
متن کاملResponse to pediatric physical therapy in infants with positional preference and skull deformation.
BACKGROUND Pediatric physical therapy seems to reduce skull deformation in infants with positional preference. However, not all infants show improvement. OBJECTIVE The study objective was to determine which infant and parent characteristics were related to responses to pediatric physical therapy in infants who were 2 to 4 months old and had positional preference, skull deformation, or both. ...
