Introduction. Posterior Positional plagiocephaly (PPP) is a cranial deformation seen in infants. The case number increased since 1992, following the supine sleeping advice. Most of the time several factors are combining together, leading to a multi-level lack of mobility of the infant, thus leading to the cranial deformation. Studies show this deformation to be linked with perturbations in various fields.Objective. This study aims to assess the efficacy of osteopathic care on the severity of the PPP.Materials and methods. 100 infants were recruited in an osteopathic practice in Lyon (France). All the infants followed the same study protocol; however, the treatment was individualized. Three consultations occurred with a 15 days′ interval over 30 days′ period. Craniometric measurements were realized with Mimos® craniometer on each consultation.Results. The mean severity of the PPP was 10,1 mm at Day 0. At day 30, this average was down to 6 mm. It is a significant (p<0,001) clinical and statistical decrease. Out of the 100 infants, 98 had a decreased deformation while two stagnated.Conclusions. As every infant is unique, every plagiocephaly is different, thus the treatment was not standardised. This study suggest some effectiveness for osteopathic care in the cranial asymmetry of infants with PPP. Other studies should be done, some with a control group, in order to compare our results with spontaneous evolution of plagiocaphaly.
