The positional plagiocephaly is a condition involving craniofacial asymmetry. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the spine, the posture and the psychomotor state in children who were diagnosed with infant plagiocephaly.
Positional infant plagiocephaly is a clinical entity in which the shape of an infant's head becomes altered as the result of external forces applied to the malleable bones of the cranium and can occur pre- or postnatally. It is characterized by asymmetric occipital flattening (one side or the central part of the occiput is flattened)with ipsilateral frontal bossing.Viewed from above, this results in a parallelogram deformity of the head. We hypothesize that children who had plagiocephaly when they were infants, they have postural and spine implications at 3-5 years old.

The psychomotor development test, TEPSI, is going to be used to assess three areas: coordination, language and motor state. The children are asked to perform different activities and the success is registered.
| baseline |
| Balance | The balance is assessed with the Pediatric Balance Test, asking the children to perform different tasks and observing the execution of these tasks. | baseline |
