?:definition
  • Head orthoses designed for external modification of the structural and/or functional characteristics of the head (e.g., cranium) during therapeutic treatments. These orthoses are prefabricated (or, more frequently, custom-made) devices intended for long-term use. They usually include bands, joints, pads and other rigid or semi-rigid metallic and/or plastic components that are placed encompassing the cranium or the whole head. Therapeutic head orthoses are used to protect and/or modify the shape of the skull on patients with congenital deformities or after trauma; dedicated head orthoses intended to correct cranial malformations in infants and/or toddlers are also available.
