Deformational Plagiocephaly

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.

This is a study which investigates the wear time and fit of a cranial remolding orthosis (a standard-of-care treatment where an infant wears a custom helmet to help reshape their head as they grow).
