Jun 21st, 2022 - The amount of craniofacial abnormal molding after birth in newborns and the frequency of plagiocephaly in infancy or later consequences of those in childhood are not known in finnish population. Head malposition and deformational plagiocephaly, ho...

Jun 21st, 2022 - The aim of this study was to assess the long-term effects of helmet therapy in its use for positional cranial deformation, such as plagiocephaly and brachycephaly, by evaluating head shapes in children with a 5-year interval. These children were i...

May 27th, 2022 - To describe supplemental intervention (SI) frequency in infants with congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) and compare groups of infants who received first-choice intervention only to infants who received SI. Data were retrospectively extracted fr...

May 20th, 2022 - The Manual Therapy has shown efficacy in different pathologies in the adult but it is not know its utility in infants and children population, nor in specific pathologies as non synostotic plagiocephaly. In the conservative treatment of plagioceph...

May 12th, 2022 - Objective differentiation between unilateral coronal synostosis (UCS) and positional posterior plagiocephaly (PPP) based on 3D photogrammetry according to Utrecht Cranial Shape Quantificator (UCSQ). Retrospective study. Primary craniofacial center...

Oct 25th, 2016 - No evidence-based guidelines exist for the imaging of patients with positional plagiocephaly. The objective of this systematic review and evidence-based guideline is to answer the question, Is imaging necessary for infants with positional plagioce...

Oct 25th, 2016 - Evidence-based guidelines are not currently available for the treatment of positional plagiocephaly and, in particular, for the use of physical therapy for treatment. To answer the question: "does physical therapy provide effective treatment for p...

Oct 25th, 2016 - Plagiocephaly, involving positional deformity of the calvarium in infants, is one of the most common reasons for pediatric neurosurgical consultation. To answer the question: "what is the evidence for the effectiveness of repositioning for positio...

Oct 21st, 2016 - Positional plagiocephaly is a common problem seen by pediatricians, pediatric neurologists, and pediatric neurosurgeons. To create evidence-based guidelines for the treatment of pediatric positional plagiocephaly. This guideline was prepared by th...

Jun 21st, 2022 - The amount of craniofacial abnormal molding after birth in newborns and the frequency of plagiocephaly in infancy or later consequences of those in childhood are not known in finnish population. Head malposition and deformational plagiocephaly, ho...

May 20th, 2022 - The Manual Therapy has shown efficacy in different pathologies in the adult but it is not know its utility in infants and children population, nor in specific pathologies as non synostotic plagiocephaly. In the conservative treatment of plagioceph...

Apr 12th, 2022 - The Ottobock helmet is a cranial orthosis used to correct infant cranial positional deformation: plagiocephaly, brachycephaly or combination of both. This medical device is a 3D-printed helmet, with an elastic closing system which allow the head g...

Nov 11th, 2021 - This is a prospective randomized controlled trial with the goal of recruiting 226 participants. The participants will be between the ages of 4-7 months and will be randomized into two groups: Treatment group A, which will provide treatment using c...

Aug 13th, 2021 - Importance The development of craniofacial morphology in the first year of life is critical, especially when analyzed with longitudinal 3-dimensional photographs. Objective To evaluate the development of the craniofacial region in healthy infants ...

Jul 19th, 2018 - Torticollis and Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome McAllister and colleagues[1] observed some interesting characteristics in infants treated for neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) after birth. Upon follow-up, many of these infants exhibited torticollis ...

Mar 10th, 2015 - Both helmet therapy and conservative therapy were effective in correcting most positional cranial deformation, based on a study of 4,378 infants diagnosed with either deformational plagiocephaly or deformational brachycephaly between 2004 and 2011.

Jan 23rd, 2015 - PRACTICE CHANGER Do not recommend helmet therapy for positional skull deformity in infants and children. Wearing a helmet causes adverse effects but does not alter the natural course of head growth.

Jan 1st, 2015 - PRACTICE CHANGER Do not recommend helmet therapy for positional skull deformity in infants and children. Wearing a helmet causes adverse effects but does not alter the natural course of head growth.

May 2nd, 2014 - Action Points Note that this small randomized trial of helmet therapy for babies with head flattening revealed no benefit of the therapy compared with usual care in terms of head shape at 2 years. Note that there were significant side effects of t...
