Effectiveness of Repositioning and Cranial Remolding in Infants With Cranial Deformation
Effectiveness of Repositioning, Physical Therapy, and Cranial Remolding in Infants With Cranial Deformation
Who can join
2 Months – 3 Months · All sexes · Healthy volunteers welcome
Full eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria for Control Group: * Healthy infants with normal physical development and no need for physical therapy intervention Exclusion Criteria for Control Group: * Infants with abnormal head shapes (plagiocephaly or craniosynostosis) * Infants with growth abnormalities (such as genetic conditions) * Infants with developmental delay significant to warrant physical therapy or occupational therapy
About the study
This study will examine how effective caregiver's repositioning strategies are in correcting an infant's deformational cranial shape, as well as the effectiveness of the use of a custom cranial remolding orthosis for treatment of deformational head shapes. Infants with torticollis will be concurrently enrolled in physical therapy treatment until the torticollis is resolved. A normal, unaffected population will be studied to compare typical growth to the growth of infants undergoing active treatment.
