Abstract
- To explore the relationship between sternocleidomastoid activation and positional plagiocephaly in healthy full term infants. Participants were 82 infants from a regionally based-longitudinal study of infant development. Sternocleidomastoid (SCM) activation was assessed using active head-righting responses of body-on-head with and against gravity and head-on-body against gravity at 3, 6 and 9 weeks. Plagiocephaly was assessed using the Modified Cranial Vault Asymmetry Index (mCVAI) at 9 weeks. More severe plagiocephaly was associated with more severe asymmetry in active head-righting responses at all ages (p
