title: Orthotic Management of Deformational Plagiocephaly: Consensus Clinical Standards of Care.
abstract: To establish consensus on definitive, actionable standards for the management of deformational plagiocephaly.
  
  
  
  Three-stage Delphi Survey process based on best practice statements obtained through literature review.
  
  
  
  Electronic survey delivery.
  
  
  
  Review panel of 10 multidisciplinary subject matter experts (SMEs); survey panel of 30 cranial orthotists.
  
  
  
  Fifty-four best practice statements were accepted in four categories: diagnosis, presentation and severity, initiating treatment, and management principles.
  
  
  
  Clinical practice can be guided en route to robust evidence as to the efficacy of various plagiocephaly management strategies, in pursuit of definitive standards.
