Uitkomstmaten
Primaire uitkomstmaten
Parameters:<br>
1. Shape of the head established by the features and values of plagiocephalometry;<br>
2. Active and passive range of motion measurements of the cervical column;<br>
3. Motor development by the Alberta Infant Motor Scale and the Bailey Scales of Infant Development second edition.<br>
All outcome parameters will be established at every of 4 investigation moments: T0 to T3.<br>
T0 = 6-8 weeks<br>
T1 = 6 months<br>
T2 = 12 months<br>
T3 = 24 months.
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
This trial started with a cohort study of 400 newborns. At the age of 6-8 weeks the state of asymmetry of infancy is achieved by several parameters. The randomised controlled trial include four groups of children.
Because I am not working in an Academic Centre and my long holiday, I heard the ultimate date to announce this trail very late. I hope it will be possible to register this trial, which was started before july 2005.
Doel van het onderzoek
Pediatric physical therapy is effective in asymmetry in infancy, especially to positional preference, deformational plagiocephaly and natural course of asymmetrical motor development, established by plagiocephalometry, range of motion tests and motor assessment.

Onderzoeksproduct en/of interventie
Study population:
Group 1: Positional preference (+/- deformational plagiocephaly) with pediatric physical therapy;
Group 2: Positional preference (+/- deformational plagiocephaly) without pediatric physical therapy;
Group 3: Deformational plagiocephaly without positional preference;
Group 4: No positional preference and/ or deformational plagiocephaly.

Belangrijkste voorwaarden om deel te mogen nemen (Inclusiecriteria)
1. Healthy infants of 6 to 8 weeks of age, born at or after a gestational age of 36 weeks or more, without dysmorfisms or syndromatic symptoms;
2. With or without positional preference of the head and with or without deformational plagiocephaly;
3. Positional preference and deformational plagiocephaly are based on postional torticollis.
Belangrijkste redenen om niet deel te kunnen nemen (Exclusiecriteria)
1. Positional preference caused by pathology, for example congenital congenital muscular torticollis, structural scoliosis, osseal disorders, cerebral palsy;
2. Dysmorfism;
3. Syndroms;
4. Synostotic plagiocephaly (craniosynostosis).
