Evaluation of the Molding Helmet Therapy for Japanese Infants with Deformational Plagiocephaly. [PDF]
JMA J, 2021 Deformational plagiocephaly (DP) is cranial flattening on one side of the back of the skull produced by an extrinsic force on the intrinsically normal skull. When the flattening is symmetrical, the deformity is called deformational brachycephaly (DB). In the US, its prevalence has increased since the "Back to Sleep" campaign by the American Association

Factors Associated with Helmet Therapy Outcomes in Positional Plagiocephaly. [PDF]
J Clin MedBackground: Helmet therapy is considered to be a treatment for infants with positional plagiocephaly. Although some studies suggest that anterior fontanelle (AF) size may also affect treatment outcomes, evidence and influence remain unclear. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of anterior fontanelle size on the effectiveness of helmet therapy,

Unilateral Pterional Polycraniosynostosis Treated with Craniectomy and Helmet Therapy. [PDF]
Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open, 2017 Summary: Craniosynostosis is a condition in which one or more of the cranial sutures have fused prematurely, affecting the growth pattern and contours of the infant skull. The pterion is the junction of temporal, frontal, parietal, and sphenoid bones of the skull.

Evaluation of the Effects of Helmet Therapy on Head Deformities: A Systematic Review of Literature
Journal of Head & Neck Physicians and Surgeons, 2023 Plagiocephaly is a common deformity of the skull. Various treatment approaches have been used for the subjects with head deformities, including use of helmet orthosis, repositioning, exercise, and only observation. The aim of this review was to check the
