Head tilt, commonly known as oblique head deformity or migraine, refers to a multi-dimensional skull deformity caused by external force before or after birth. In addition to beautiful appearance, skull deformity may also cause developmental retardation; Asymmetric ears can cause balance difficulties; Some oblique head deformities can also cause strabismus, narrow vision and even cerebral hernia; Babies with congenital torticollis's disease will have torticollis, which will aggravate the degree of torticollis. In addition, skull deformity is also very likely to cause children to feel inferior.
The medical diagnosis of oblique head deformity can be made 4 ~ 8 weeks after birth. The main treatment methods are posture adjustment and orthopedic helmet treatment. Infants with tilt head deformity less than 3 months are mainly adjusted in posture, and infants with moderate and severe tilt head deformity of 3 ~ 18 months can be corrected with corrective helmet. In fact, since 2000, millions of babies around the world have received helmet orthopedic treatment, and its safety and effectiveness have been fully verified. The clinical research results of orthopedic helmet therapy have been published in a large number of authoritative journals abroad, and many authoritative experts and hospitals in China have done corresponding research and academic publication. For example, the journal article "The Effect of Orthopedic Helmets on Skull Remodeling in Infants with ectropion" was published in Chinese Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (202 1), and the clinical study adopted a retrospective research method, choosing 1 14. Conclusion: Orthopedic helmet can effectively reshape the head of infants with oblique head deformity and improve the head asymmetry. Orthopedic helmet treatment is effective in 4 ~ 6 months. The lighter the deformity, the easier it is to correct the skull shape. China Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics (20 17, Volume 19, No.2) points out that orthopedic helmet therapy is superior to posture correction training in the treatment of moderate and severe postural craniotomy in infants, and it will not limit the growth of children's heads.
It can be seen that it is safe and effective to use conventional corrective helmet to treat infant head deformity, which has been recognized worldwide and recommended by more and more countries and doctors. After medical research and clinical use, many experts in pediatrics, pediatrics and neurosurgery in China also pointed out that orthopedic helmet is an effective improvement method for children with moderate and severe craniofacial deformities such as flat head, eccentric heart and navicular head, or in the recovery period after surgical treatment such as premature closure of cranial suture. Moreover, many hospitals in China have carried out skull examination and orthopedic services.
At present, the infant skull orthosis (StarBand) produced by Orthomerica Company of the United States is widely used in the world, that is, the "Star Orthopedic Helmet", which was approved by National Medical Products Administration on 20 12, and is the first such product approved in China. 3- 18 months old infants with moderate and severe deformity can be corrected by star orthopedic helmet if their sleeping posture cannot be improved or the improvement effect is not good.
