Abstract / |
|
|
Deformational plagiocephaly has been defined as asymmetry
of the skull resulting from abnormal forces acting on an intrinsically normal,
developing cranium. 1 Further distinction of the asymmetry is typically referred
to as mild, moderate, or severe. These terms have commonplace acceptance
in the clinical setting, although little discussion can be found within the
literature. Numerous articles refer to orthotic treatment of children with
severe involvement. However, few attempts have been made to define this distinction.
The lack of consistent interpretation has delayed outcome studies. |
