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
