Abstract
The use of skull correction is controversial, and treatment recommendations and reporting of results vary. The most commonly observed deformities of the skull are: plagiocephaly, brachycephaly and scaphocephaly. Treatment includes repositioning, physical therapy, and orthotic treatment with an adapted cranial remoulding orthosis (CRO). Positional plagiocephaly should be differentiated from torticollis, which is also one of the main causes of this deformity. Cranial remoulding orthosis yields better and faster results in younger patients, with age the degree of correction slows down with age. CRO is most effective when initiated before the 5th month of age. Apart from positioning therapy, physiotherapy and the use of a CRO shortens the treatment time and improves the results in severe cases of head asymmetry.

Abstract
Introduction. Compulsory asymmetrical positioning of the head with a tint to one side and a twist to the opposite side is called torticollis. Its consequences can be both local and global. The global symptoms, resulting from the impact of the spatial head position on the distribution of muscle tension in the entire body, are less frequently described. Materials and method. The authors have developed an examination sheet for infants with asymmetrical head control, which makes it possible to objectivize the diagnosis of local and global symptoms, and to control their correction in the course of rehabilitation. Conclusions. An assessment of the results obtained shows that the global symptoms must be taken into account in therapy, since as a general rule they appear later than the local symptoms.
