The positional plagiocephaly is a condition involving craniofacial asymmetry. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the spine, the posture and the psychomotor state in children who were diagnosed with infant plagiocephaly.
Positional infant plagiocephaly is a clinical entity in which the shape of an infant's head becomes altered as the result of external forces applied to the malleable bones of the cranium and can occur pre- or postnatally. It is characterized by asymmetric occipital flattening (one side or the central part of the occiput is flattened)with ipsilateral frontal bossing.Viewed from above, this results in a parallelogram deformity of the head. We hypothesize that children who had plagiocephaly when they were infants, they have postural and spine implications at 3-5 years old.

Exclusion Criteria:
Children (3-5 years) who were diagnosed and treated because of positional plagiocephaly are included in this group. An asssessment of posture will be performed.
Other: Assessment
The posture, motor development and balance are going to be assessed.
Also known as: Evaluation, Posture assessment, Psychomotor development
Spine assessment
The spine alignment, segmental and global angles in the sagittal and frontal planes,and the spinal mobility are going to be assessed by the Spinal Mouse®,a device guided manually on the skin along the spine.
Time frame: baseline
Postural evaluation
The postural assessment comprises the static posture and the spinal flexibility by observing different positions and actions of the children.
Time frame: baseline
Psychomotor assessment
The psychomotor development test, TEPSI, is going to be used to assess three areas: coordination, language and motor state. The children are asked to perform different activities and the success is registered.
Time frame: baseline
Balance
The balance is assessed with the Pediatric Balance Test, asking the children to perform different tasks and observing the execution of these tasks.
Time frame: baseline
Quality of sleep
The parents are going to complete the Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire, with different items evaluating the quality of sleep of the children.
Time frame: baseline
