متن کاملHelmet treatment of deformational plagiocephaly: the relationship between age at initiation and rate of correction.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between age at initiation of helmet therapy for deformational plagiocephaly and the rate of correction. METHODS Infants treated for deformational plagiocephaly with a helmet orthosis between 2009 and 2010 were included. Patients were stratified prospectively by the age at which treatment was initiated: group 1, younger than...
