Effect of helmet therapy in the treatment of positional head deformity

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, 2019
AimMost positional head deformities can be treated conservatively with postural correction training or a head orthosis (‘helmet’). We aimed to investigate whether infants with helmet therapy have cosmetic improvement in head deformity.MethodsA total of 376 infants at age 2–40 months who were diagnosed with mild–moderate–severe positional head deformity

The role of age on helmet therapy in deformational plagiocephaly and asymmetric brachycephaly

Child's Nervous System, 2019
This study aimed to investigate the effect of age at helmet therapy onset on treatment efficacy in moderate-to-severe deformational plagiocephaly (DP) and combined DP and asymmetrical brachycephaly (AB) in infants.Ninety-eight infants who were referred to our institution and who underwent helmet therapy between 2014 and 2018 were retrospectively ...

Utility of Preoperative Helmet Molding Therapy in Patients With Isolated Sagittal Craniosynostosis

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2021
Abstract The purpose of this study was to review our institution's experience using helmet molding therapy in children with isolated non-syndromic sagittal craniosynostosis before placement of cranial springs and provide objective measurements of craniometric changes to help determine its role in treatment.

Head Shape Retention Following Helmet Therapy for Deformational Plagiocephaly

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2019
Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether any change can be expected in the 6-month period after completing treatment with a molding helmet for deformational plagiocephaly. A retrospective review of helmeted patients from a deformational plagiocephaly clinic from May 2010 to June 2011.

What Is the Optimal Time to Start Helmet Therapy in Positional Plagiocephaly?

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2011
Although helmet therapy is widely accepted in the treatment of severe positional plagiocephaly, treatment regimens, especially regarding starting age, are controversial. This study investigated the importance of starting age to optimize the management of helmet therapy.Sixty-two infants with severe positional plagiocephaly were enrolled in this ...

Does Helmet Therapy Influence the Ear Shift in Positional Plagiocephaly?

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2012
Helmet therapy is widely accepted in the treatment of severe positional plagiocephaly. The improvement of the cranial asymmetry under therapy is evident, but parents are also concerned about the ear shift. Our study investigated the influence of helmet therapy on the position of the ears and analyzed the reliability of clinical observations regarding ...

The Incidence of Complications Associated With Molding Helmet Therapy

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2015
Molding helmet therapy using an individual head orthosis presents a widely accepted treatment option for children with positional head deformities; however, studies addressing the incidence of complications during helmet therapy are rare. The current study evaluates the incidence of complications in 205 children with positional head deformity ...

Endoscopy-Assisted Craniosynostosis Surgery without Postoperative Helmet Molding Therapy

World Neurosurgery
Endoscopy-assisted craniosynostosis surgery (EACS) yields excellent surgical outcomes by minimizing blood loss, operative time, and hospital stays. Postoperative helmet therapy (PHT), commonly employed for head shape correction, involves frequent adjustments, potential complications, and high costs.
