Filter by:The objective of the research is to measure the effectiveness of the Ottobock helmet, an innovative 3D-printed cranial orthosis used to correct infant cranial positional deformation: plagiocephaly, brachycephaly or combination of both. This research is a retrospective multi-centric study composed of a collection of clinical data from orthotists database and a survey for patient's parents.
Healthy infants were enrolled to receive three dimensional craniofacial photography regularly at their age of one month, two month, four month, six month, nine month and twelve month. All the image data was analyzed to reveal infants' craniofacial development.
The aim of this trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of osteopathic manipulative therapy in reducing the asymmetries of skull in infants with nonsynostotic plagiocephaly.
Positional cranial deformities (PCD), plagiocephaly and brachycephaly are a common reason for pediatric consultation, which has increased significantly since the recommendation to lay babies on their backs to prevent unexpected infant death (ILD). CPD is a source of concern for parents about their impact on psychomotor development and the aesthetic risk of deformity. The High Authority for Health (HAS) will soon put in place recommendations with a fact sheet for health professionals and the public. The aim of this research is to study whether early treatment of rotation disorders and hypertonia in newborns by manual osteopathic techniques would prevent the occurrence of positional deformities of the skull. The main objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of an early osteopathic treatment on the rate of CPP (plagiocephalic and postural brachycephalia) at 4 months in newborns at risk. the secondary objective is: to evaluate the effectiveness of an early osteopathic treatment on the quality of life of the child at 4 months. Methodology: Controlled, randomized monocentric two-arm parallel study between (1) osteopathic follow-up and (2) osteopathy-free follow-up. The inclusion period will be 18 months and the follow-up period is 4 months. Procedure: The two groups will be evaluated at 3 days and 4 months. The experimental group will benefit from an osteopathic treatment of 3 days of life to 4 months with a frequency of 3 to 4 sessions. Both groups will benefit from sleeping, carrying, positioning and stimulation advice. The perspectives are: - the decrease in the prevalence of CPP after early osteopathic treatment. - Defining a decision algorithm for early osteopathic treatment. - Subject to recommendations on the indication of early osteopathic treatment in neonates at risk.
This study evaluates the efficacy of Pediatric Manual Therapy in the treatment of positional plagiocephaly in infants. 40 participants will receive a protocol of Pediatric Manual Therapy and educational physiotherapy in combination, while the other 20 will receive only educational physiotherapy
This pilot project proposes to develop and test a new device to manage (defined as resolving, prohibiting, inhibiting or preventing) the development of Deformational Plagiocephaly (DP) in prematurely born infants weighing < 1 kilogram.
This study will enable investigators to find out if brain structure and characteristics are affected by the shape of the infant's head, and if changes in the brain occur with helmet therapy.
The positional plagiocephaly is a condition involving craniofacial asymmetry. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the spine, the posture and the psychomotor state in children who were diagnosed with infant plagiocephaly.
