Method and apparatus to prevent positional plagiocephaly in infants |
摘要 |
A cranial suspension apparatus to prevent positional plagiocephaly in an infant by distributing loads on the head of the infant lying in the supine position on a horizontal surface. The infant is placed in the apparatus such that the head of the infant is supported on a flexible porous support material with the tension of the material adjusted to support the head just above or just touching the sleep surface. The flexible porous support material may be a net with an open weave. The apparatus prevents localized pressure on the infant's head in an area contacting a sleep surface when infants are routinely placed in the supine position, which is recommended to avoid sudden infant death syndrome.
