Application value of continuous posture management in infants with flat head syndrome
Objective To explore the application value of continuous position management in infants with flat head syndrome(DPB).Methods A total of 63 children aged 0-9 months in the urban area of Ji'an City,who were presented in Ji'an Central Hospital from June 2021 to June 2022 were selected as the research subjects.They were divided into the control group,the intervention group one,and the intervention group two using digital coding method,with 21 cases in each group.The children in the control group were not given rel-evant intervention,while the children in the intervention group one were given routine intervention,the chil-dren in the intervention group two were given continuous position management intervention(using the basic principle of helmet orthodontic devices for sleeping posture correction).The difference of transcranial oblique diameter and head index of the three groups of children before intervention and after one,two and three months of intervention were compared,and the satisfaction scores of the guardians of the three groups of chil-dren after three months of intervention were compared.Results There was no statistically significant differ-ence in transcranial oblique diameter and head index among the three groups of children before intervention(P>0.05).After one,two and three months of intervention,the difference in transcranial oblique diameter and head index of the three groups of children were lower than before intervention;After two and three months of intervention,the transcranial oblique diameter difference and head index of the children in the inter-vention group one and the intervention group two were lower than those after one month of intervention.After three months of intervention,the transcranial oblique diameter difference and head index were lower than those after two months of intervention;The differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).After one,two and three months of intervention,the difference in transcranial oblique diameter and head index in the in-tervention group two were lower than those in the intervention group one and the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).After three months of intervention,the satisfaction score of guardians in the intervention group two was higher than that in the intervention group one and the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The continuous position man-agement method is easy to operate and beneficial for caregivers to accept.With short-term one-month inter-vention in the presence of cranial plasticity,DPB can be effectively corrected,which is more effective than ordi-nary intervention methods.It can also be used as a preventive measure and is worthy of clinical recommenda-tion.
