Official Title: Cranial Orthotic Device Versus Repositioning Techniques for the Management of Plagiocephaly: the CRANIO Randomized Trial
Brief Summary: Babies 4-7 months of age with positional plagiocephaly will be treated with repositional techniques verse helmet therapy. The helmet therapy children will be fitted a helmet at Westcoast Brace and Limb and monitored during treatment to ensure proper fitting of helmet. The repositioning children's parents will given instructions on how to perform neck stretching exercises and repositioning techniques and monitored during treatment.
