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).

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.

Active Cervical Range of Motion in Babies with Positional Plagiocephaly: Analytical Cross-Sectional Study [PDF]
Children, 2021 Positional plagiocephaly (PP) is a general term describing cranial distortion from pre- or postnatal forces on the infant head. Abnormal intrauterine forces, multiple births, primiparous mothers, obstetric interventions, prematurity, male sex, excessive ...

A Novel Prophylactic Device Against Head Deformity to Prevent Severe Positional Plagiocephaly. [PDF]
J Clin MedBackground/Objectives: Preventing head deformity in the early postnatal period could avert positional plagiocephaly (PP). Accordingly, we developed a novel prophylactic device to prevent head deformity and examined its impact on the incidence of PP and ...

Positional plagiocephaly. [PDF]
Paediatr Child Health, 2011 Cranial asymmetry occurring as a result of forces that deform skull shape in the supine position is known as deformational plagiocephaly. The risk of plagiocephaly may be modified by positioning the baby on alternate days with the head to the right or the left side, and by increasing time spent in the prone position during awake periods.

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.
