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.
Healthy infants with normal physical development and no need for physical therapy intervention
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
