Molding helmet therapy in the treatment of @entity91 and XXXX .

@entity91 @entity1 @entity135 @entity9283
The purpose of this study was to compare the use of molding helmet therapy in the treatment of positional @entity91 and posterior positional @entity9283 . Four hundred twenty-eight @entity1 with positional @entity91 or @entity9283 were included in this study. In this group of @entity1 , 132 (32%) were treated with positioning alone. Of the 292 (68%) @entity1 who were treated with molding therapy, 64 (21.9%) were treated for positional @entity91 and 248 (78.1%) were treated for posterior positional @entity9283 . All @entity1 were evaluated by a craniofacial surgeon and a pediatric neurosurgeon. Anthropomorphic measurements were used to assess the efficacy of treatment. Measurements were made before initiation of therapy and at 2-month intervals until the completion of therapy. Results showed that statistically significant improvements (P < 0.01) were seen in all @entity1 treated with molding helmet therapy. Overall, the @entity1 with posterior @entity9283 normalized their head shapes; however, the head shapes of the @entity1 with positional @entity91 did not normalize despite statistically significant improvements in their Cephalic Index. It is concluded that molding helmet therapy is an effective treatment of position-induced @entity135 . Helmet therapy is more effective in @entity1 with posterior positional @entity9283 than in @entity1 with positional @entity91 .
