Question 1

Is the first visit free of charge?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Our initial head shape assessment and scanning are 100% free and come with no obligation to undergo treatment and there are no hidden costs. Our goal is to provide parents with the information they need to make an informed decision about corrective helmet therapy.

Question 2

Do I need a doctor's referral for MOOR-P helmet therapy?

Accepted Answer

No referral is needed for the assessment and to start therapy.
If you have Slovenian Health Insurance a referral is required to initiate the reimbursement process through the Health Insurance Institute of Slovenia (ZZZS).

Question 3

Does ZZZS cover MOOR-P corrective helmet therapy?

Accepted Answer

If you have Slovenian Health Insurance, the corrective therapy is covered by ZZZS. If you decide to proceed with the therapy. Contact us for more information.

Question 4

Can I stay with my baby during the assessment?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you are welcome to stay with your child during the assessment.

Question 5

What are the Cephalic CVAI Factor and Cephalic Ratio?

Accepted Answer

After scanning, two factors of plagiocephaly are measured using software:
Cephalic CVAI Factor and Cephalic Ratio (CR).
Based on these results, we can recommend appropriate therapy to correct any potential head asymmetry.

The Cephalic CVAI Factor and Cephalic Ratio are two measures used to assess cranial asymmetry. The CVAI, or Cranial Vault Asymmetry Index, evaluates skull irregularities, while the Cephalic Ratio (CR) measures the proportion between the length and width of the head.

Cranial Vault Asymmetry Index (CVAI) Factor  
The CVAI is a measure used to assess asymmetry in the skull. Here are the typical ranges:

- 0 to 3.4: Normal values  
- 3.5 to 6: Mild flat head syndrome  
- 6 to 6.25: Repositioning or self-correction is recommended  
- Above 6.25: Helmet therapy is recommended  
- Above 7.5: Helmet therapy is absolutely necessary

Cephalic Ratio (CR) or Cephalic Index  
Cephalic Ratio (CR) or "Cephalic Index"
The Cephalic Ratio (Cephalic Ratio) or cephalic index refers to the ratio of the length and width of the human head. This measure plays a role in assessing the shape and proportions of the skull.
CR is calculated as the ratio between the maximum head length and the maximum head width. Different values can indicate different head shapes. For example, a relatively long head will have higher CR values, while a wider head will have lower CR values.

Significance of CR values:
- 0.75 to 0.85: Normal values  
- 0.93 and above: Brachycephaly, helmet therapy recommended  
- 0.69 and below: Scaphocephaly, helmet therapy recommended
