Embodiment Construction

[0055] Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present disclosure, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

[0056] In order to understand these embodiments, different reference numerals denote the protective outer cover 10 , the ear hook portion 12 , and the soft inner cover 30 in each embodiment.

[0057] The cephalic orthosis according to these embodiments is an inventive half-helmet type cephalic orthosis that can effectively protect infants and young children from skull deformation such as a head deformed into a brachycephaly that is wide in the left-right direction and short in the front-rear direction shape. In particular, the embodiments relate to a half-helmet type head orthosis for infants that can passively and safely form a scaphoid head shape that is long in the front-rear direction and narrow in the left-right direction.

[0058] That is, the head shape corrector is designed as a half-helmet type, which structurally wra...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a head-shape remodelling instrument for infants, which can prevent flattened-head syndrome and plagiocephaly in infants and can also induce a brachycephalic head into becoming a scaphocephalic head. When a head-shape remodelling instrument according to an embodiment of the present invention is employed, there are advantages in that it can induce a brachycephalic head to remodel and to grow into a scaphocephalic head in addition to the prevention and treatment of flattened head syndrome and plagiocephaly since it provides both an outer skin element of a hard material and an inner skin element of a soft material, and the temporal regions and the side surfaces of the occipital area with the exception of the crown of the head come into contact with the said inner skin element and are softly compressed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to a cephalic orthosis for correcting the shape of the skull and facial bones of infants and young children. [0002] In more detail, the present disclosure relates to a head shape corrector for infants and young children, which not only prevents brachycephaly and plagiocephaly, but also corrects a brachycephalic head into a scaphoid head . Background technique [0003] Human skull shapes can be classified into a scaphoid shape that is long in the front-rear direction and short in the left-right direction, and a brachycephalic shape that is long in the left-right direction and short in the front-rear direction. In general, Westerners have a scaphoid head, while Orientals have a brachycephalic head. [0004] Due to the recent preference for the scaphoid head shape, parents try to put their child to sleep in a prone position with his / her head turned to one side so that the weight of the head is applied to his / her The pre...
