Parents’ decision for helmet therapy in infants with skull deformation

Child's Nervous System, 2014
Helmet therapy is regularly prescribed in infants with positional skull deformation. Evidence on the effectiveness is lacking, which complicates decision making. This study aims to assess the relation between parents' decision for treatment of skull deformation in their infant and their level of anxiety, decisional conflict, expectations of treatment ...

Molding Helmet Therapy for Deformational Brachycephaly

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2019
Background: Molding helmet therapy is used for the treatment of infants with deformational brachycephaly (DB). There is a lack of rigorous outcome measures of helmet therapy in patients with DB using 3-dimensional (3D) imaging, with most reports rely on either subjective or 2-dimensional analyses.

Molding Helmet Therapy in the Treatment of Brachycephaly and Plagiocephaly

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2004
The purpose of this study was to compare the use of molding helmet therapy in the treatment of positional brachycephaly and posterior positional plagiocephaly. Four hundred twenty-eight children with positional brachycephaly or plagiocephaly were included in this study. In this group of patients, 132 (32%) were treated with positioning alone.

Molding Helmet Therapy in the Management of Sagittal Synostosis

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2002
The current surgical treatment of sagittal craniosynostosis often fails to produce a normal cephalic index; however, recent reports of early endoscopic suture release and postoperative helmet therapy promise improved cranial symmetry. The role of helmet therapy is critical in this approach, but there are few reports on the use of helmet therapy after ...

WHAT IS THE ROLE OF HELMET THERAPY IN POSITIONAL PLAGIOCEPHALY?

Archives of Disease in Childhood, 2008
You are a paediatric registrar in a clinic. A mother comes in concerned about the shape of her 6-month-old infant’s head. She has previously been advised that counter-positioning and physiotherapy might help. She has heard from a friend about using helmets to correct the head shape. She wants to know if this therapy would benefit her child. You wonder

Orthotic Helmet Therapy for Deformational Plagiocephaly: Stratifying Outcomes by Insurance

The Cleft Palate Craniofacial Journal, 2023
Objective Deformational Plagiocephaly (DP) is commonly treated with cranial orthosis, or helmet therapy. A large, national study on the impact of insurance status on helmet outcomes is lacking. We assessed treatment outcomes for helmet therapy based on insurance status.

Use of external orthotic helmet therapy in positional plagiocephaly

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2016
Positional plagiocephaly is the most common type of cranial asymmetry affecting infants. We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of helmet therapy compared to no helmet therapy in treating positional plagiocephaly in infants under the age of 1year. This retrospective review was conducted in an Australian paediatric hospital and included 171 patients ...

Predictive Factors of Outcomes in Helmet Therapy for Deformational Plagiocephaly and Brachycephaly

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2022
Deformational plagiocephaly and brachycephaly, or abnormal flattening of the infant skull due to external forces, are often managed with orthotic helmet therapy. Although helmet therapy is widely used, the factors that predict poor outcomes are not well characterized.

Helmeting Therapy in Children with Plagiocephaly: Who Receives Helmets?

FACE
Objectives: Plagiocephaly is a flattening or asymmetry of the skull in infants that –while benign– can be distressing to parents. There are no standardized treatment recommendations, but helmeting therapy (HT) can be pursued.

Helmet therapy for positional plagiocephaly and brachycephaly

BMJ, 2014
Negligible treatment effects in the first randomized evaluation Positional plagiocephaly and brachycephaly affects approximately 20% of infants and is the most common reason for referral in many craniofacial centers.1 2 This reflects an increase in the incidence of the condition after several countries implemented public health campaigns that ...
