Efficacy of pediatric integrative manual therapy in positional plagiocephaly: a randomized controlled trial [PDF]
Italian Journal of Pediatrics, 2021 Background Positional plagiocephaly frequently affects healthy babies. It is hypothesized that manual therapy tailored to pediatrics is more effective in improving plagiocephalic cranial asymmetry than just repositioning and sensory and motor stimulation.

Positional plagiocephaly: results of the osteopathic treatment of 424 infants. An observational retrospective cohort study [PDF]
Italian Journal of PediatricsBackground Positional plagiocephaly is an asymmetrical flattened skull deformity whose incidence increased significantly in the last decades. Osteopathic treatment has been suggested to tackle early deformational sequences, in order to ensure the correct

Using a 3D asymmetry index as a novel form for capturing complex three-dimensionality in positional plagiocephaly [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Positional plagiocephaly (PP) is the most common skull deformity in infants. Different classification systems exist for graduating the degree of PP, but all of these systems are based on two-dimensional (2D) parameters.

Effectiveness of pediatric integrative manual therapy in cervical movement limitation in infants with positional plagiocephaly: a randomized controlled trial [PDF]
Italian Journal of Pediatrics, 2021 Background Positional plagiocephaly (PP) is a cranial deformation frequent amongst children and consisting in a flattened and asymmetrical head shape. PP is associated with excessive time in supine and with congenital muscular torticollis (CMT).

Risk factors associated with positional plagiocephaly in healthy Iranian infants: a case-control study. [PDF]
Iran J Child Neurol, 2022 Objectives Deformation of the skull by external forces in the absence of synostosis has been defined as positional plagiocephaly. The aim of this investigation was to determine the risk factors of positional plagiocephaly (PP) in healthy Iranian infants.
