简要总结
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.
详细描述
Positional infant plagiocephaly is a clinical entity in which the shape of an infant's head becomes altered as the result of external forces applied to the malleable bones of the cranium and can occur pre- or postnatally. It is characterized by asymmetric occipital flattening (one side or the central part of the occiput is flattened)with ipsilateral frontal bossing.Viewed from above, this results in a parallelogram deformity of the head. We hypothesize that children who had plagiocephaly when they were infants, they have postural and spine implications at 3-5 years old.

结局指标
主要结局
Spine assessment
时间窗: baseline
The spine alignment, segmental and global angles in the sagittal and frontal planes,and the spinal mobility are going to be assessed by the Spinal Mouse®,a device guided manually on the skin along the spine.
