Very few studies on long term effects of positional head shape pathologies have looked into psychosocial effects, dental and speech issues, and vision issues. Surveys including pedsql, and CBCL were sent to 2000 people whose child was seen at the Texas Children's Plagiocephaly Clinic between 2007 and 2018. Significant associations were found in the group comparison between control and CRO treatment.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, the participant will learn the outcomes of this study on long term psychosocial effects of plagiocephaly.
Upon completion, the participant will learn the outcomes of this study on long term dental, speech, and vision effects of plagiocephaly.
Upon completion, the participant will learn about related studies on vision, dental, and speech effects of similar pathologies such as cleft palate and craniosynostosis.
Upon completion, the participant will learn the recommended next steps to further investigate the gap of knowledge on non cosmetic outcomes of positional head shape deformities.
