A recent study at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center on the side effects of Cranial Remodeling Orthoses found that ROKband is industry leading in the minimal side effects experienced by its patients.

This checklist provides important things to consider prior to your initial assessment. 

This guide provides useful information for the treatment and prevention of plagiocephaly.

This guide provides instructions on how to care for your baby’s ROKband and the appropriate conditions and schedule for your baby to wear their band.

This evaluation tool from Children's Healthcare Atlanta assists medical professionals in determining the appropriate course of treatment for their patients.

This resource provides activities to help you position, carry, hold and play with your baby, ensuring he/she gets enough tummy time each day. All of these should take place while your baby is awake and supervised.

Frequent changes in your child’s position are recommended. The exercises in this guide help to improve your child’s neck mobility to prevent or to improve an abnormal head shape. If your child’s head shape fails to improve by 3 to 4 months of age, contact your doctor.

In this study, authors found clear improvement in non-synostotic head deformity treated with an individual molding helmet and no clear evidence of improvement of absolute measurements in untreated cranial deformity within a 5-year follow-up period.

This study demonstrates that when the treatment of cranial asymmetry is initiated between 3-6 months of life, the best symmetry outcomes are obtained within a shorter time, as compared with a later intervention time.

This study demonstrates more significant and faster improvement of cranial shape in infants with positional plagiocephaly treated with a helmet as compared to conservative therapy, especially if the deformity is severe, and provided that helmet therapy is applied during the appropriate period of infancy.

Current research showing that improved outcomes and reduced treatment times are possible with early intervention was coupled with 3D printing technology to design an innovative treatment program for infants with positional cranial deformation. This new treatment option has been shown to allow this population to access early care without the associated limitations of current CRO technology.
