Plagiocephaly and head binding.
he practice of head deformation by pressure to an infant's skull dates back to 2000 BC when the Ancient Egyptians used head binding to produce a cosmetically pleasing and fashionable skull shape. 1 With an increasing incidence of plagiocephaly (asymmetric skull) this practice, with a modern slant, is re-emerging. A simple web search resulted in five " paediatric offices " offering such a servic...
متن کاملPositional plagiocephaly.
Cranial asymmetry occurring as a result of forces that deform skull shape in the supine position is known as deformational plagiocephaly. The risk of plagiocephaly may be modified by positioning the baby on alternate days with the head to the right or the left side, and by increasing time spent in the prone position during awake periods. When deformational plagiocephaly is already present, phys...
متن کاملHead shape measurement standards and cranial orthoses in the treatment of infants with deformational plagiocephaly.
This review aims to determine how head shape is measured and describes the use of orthoses in the management of deformational plagiocephaly. A systematic review was conducted and papers published in English up to and including 2006 were sourced from nine databases. After initial screening, 20 papers were included; three literature reviews and 17 original papers. Of the original papers, eight co...
متن کامل3D Head Shape Quantification for Infants with and without Deformational Plagiocephaly
28 Objective: We developed and tested three dimensional (3-D) indices for quantifying 29 severity of deformational plagiocephaly (DP). 30 Design: We evaluated the extent to which infants with and without DP (as determined 31 by clinic referral and two experts’ ratings) could be correctly classified. 32 Participants: Infants ages 4-11 months, including 154 with diagnosed DP and 100 infants 33 wi...
