In this episode, Dr. Steve Gard, editor-in-chief of the Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics, sits down with Tiffany Graham, MSPO, CPO, LPO, FAAOP(D), to explore her research on the effectiveness of cranial remolding orthoses for the treatment of deformational brachycephaly. They discuss her interest in the topic, the study's overall focus, methodology and resulting data, participants' demographics, and overall results.
