Cranial Orthosis for Babies|Cranial Orthotics| Helmet Therapy

Cranial orthosis also known as Helmet molding therapy, is a type of treatment for children. This helps to correct the shape of the skull using a special helmet. Watch this video to understand the shape of the skull and how using a cranial orthotic can help in bringing the proper shape of the skull.
With Helmet molding therapy, babies don’t feel pain or discomfort. The duration of treatment can vary based on the baby's needs. The average treatment may last up to 3 months.
If your baby has any issues with the skull shape, don’t wait any longer. Consult the best experienced therapist at Hope AMC. We offer customized treatment solutions.
Types of deformities
Coronal synostosis begins at the ear and goes back to the sagittal suture. Premature closure leads to a condition called anterior plagiocephaly. This may cause the baby’s forehead to flatten on the affected side. Elevation of the eye socket, (vertical dystopia) on the involved side, a deviated nose and a slanted skull may also occur. If untreated, this may lead to amblyopia - loss of vision on the affected side.
Lamboidal synostosis is the rarest form of craniosynostosis. Premature closure of this suture leads to a condition called posterior plagiocephaly. This may cause flattening of the back of the head on the affected side, protrusion of the mastoid bone and posterior positioning of the affected ear. It may also cause the skull to tilt sideways. This condition can be misdiagnosed as occipital flattening (positional plagiocephaly).
Bicoronal synostosis occurs when both the left and right coronal sutures are involved. Premature closure of these two sutures leads to a condition called brachycephaly. This may cause the baby to have a flat, elevated and recessed forehead and brow.
Metopic synostosis begins at the nose and goes back to the sagittal suture. Premature closure of this suture leads to a condition called trigonocephaly. This may cause the baby to have a pointed forehead, midline ridge, triangularly shaped skull and eyes that appear too close together.
Sagittal synostosis, the most common type of craniosynostosis, affects three to five infants in every 1,000 live births and is more common in males. Premature closure of this suture leads to a condition called scaphocephaly. Because the skull cannot expand sideways, it is forced to grow forward and backward. This may cause the baby to have a protruding forehead, narrowed temples and an elongated head.
