Quantifying Positional Plagiocephaly

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2006
The treatment of positional plagiocephaly is controversial. A confounding factor is the lack of a proven clinically viable measure to quantify severity and change in plagiocephaly. The use of anthropometric measurements is one proposed method. In this study, the reliability and validity for this method of measurement were investigated.

Treatment of Positional Plagiocephaly with Dynamic Orthotic Cranioplasty

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 1994
Dynamic orthotic cranioplasty (DOC) was developed to treat asymmetrical head shape of a nonsynostotic origin, which is defined by the term positional plagiocephaly. These positional deformations have been found to correlate with a number of environmental factors.
