Success Rates of Cranial Remolding Orthosis Treatment of Plagiocephaly Based on Initial Presentation

Join Dr. Steve Gard, editor-in-chief of the Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics, as he chats with Jennifer Richards, MA, CPO, about her research on cranial remolding orthosis (CRO) treatment for plagiocephaly. Affecting one in five infants, the incidence of plagiocephaly has risen significantly, with CROs being a common treatment. They dive into the success rates based on age and severity at treatment onset, noting severity as the more critical factor. The discussion also highlights data collection challenges and the need for further clinical research despite funding obstacles.
