Effectiveness of a Prenatal Educational Intervention to Prevent Positional Occipital Plagiocephaly

During a regular prenatal class meeting, parents belonging to this group received information about POP and how to prevent it (a presentation by a physiotherapist, a video shown to all centers participating in the study, practical demonstrations of activities using a doll, and a brochure with prevention tips). The children were then assessed at birth to rule out congenital disorders and at 3 months to detect any POP and associated postural problems. They were then sent a questionnaire to assess their perceived quality of the educational intervention carried out by the physiotherapist during the prenatal course.
