Issues and Prospects of Orthotic Helmet Treatment

Skull orthotic treatment with an orthotic helmet does not correct the skull by applying positive pressure to tighten the deformed skull with padding. The corrective mechanism is to delay the growth of the deformed skull in the longitudinal direction and promote the growth of the skull on the plagiocephaly side without hindering the expansion of the head circumference of normal infants. At that time, it is important for a skilled doctor to set and design the inner layer structure of the orthotic helmet according to the growth of the infant’s skull, and to further adjust it according to the growth of the child.
