Abstract in brief

Children with a history of moderate to severe positional plagiocephaly or brachycephaly (PPB) tend to have ongoing motor development issues as school-aged kids, as shown by lower scores on the BOT2 test.
The study found no significant motor skill differences in children with mild PPB, indicating that severity plays a role in long-term motor deficits.
The researchers recommend early developmental monitoring and interventions for children with moderate to severe PPB to help address potential motor skill challenges.]
