Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Cranial shape of 176 intervention group and 92 control group infants at 2-, 4-, and 12-month visits. Severity Assessment for Plagiocephaly and Severity Assessment for Brachycephaly were used as assessment tools.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Cranial measurements were taken in order to reliability-test 12-month cranial assessments since the assessment tools have subjective components that increase the variation. Cranial vault asymmetry index (CVAI) was calculated from the two transcranial diagonals, and cranial index (CI) was calculated from the cranial length and cranial width measurements.
