Effects of Corrective Helmet Therapy on Cervical Motion and Thermoregulation in Children With Positional Deformities

"This observational study involves children undergoing cranial helmet therapy. The intervention is not assigned by the investigator. Repeated measurements are performed within participants to evaluate therapy effects. Stage 1 assesses head shape changes to analyze therapy effectiveness. Stage 2 examines factors influencing effectiveness, considering age, deformity type, and sex.~Stage 3 measures body surface temperature using thermal imaging before, during, and after helmet use, with participants analyzed in three age groups: 4-6, 7-9, and 10-12 months. Stage 4 evaluates cervical spine rotation before therapy and after completion, with participants analyzed in the same three age groups."
