Assessment of facial and cranial symmetry in infants with deformational plagiocephaly undergoing molding helmet therapy

摘要

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the effects on facial and cranial symmetry through molding helmet therapy in infants with positional plagiocephaly. A 3D asymmetry index (3DAI), which measures both cranial and facial symmetry, was introduced and compared to the Cranial Vault Asymmetry Index (CVAI).
