A cranial orthosis band is shaped to extend across the top of the head with depending regions closely confining the temporal bone regions and the mastoid process regions of the cranium. The orthosis includes a rear region which encloses the occipital bone region of the cranium so that flattening of the rear of the head can be treated or prevented. The orthosis is self-suspending. The rear portion of the orthosis imparts ear-to-ear rigidity to the device.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A cranial orthosis device comprising:a resilient band adapted to conform to a substantially normally shaped cranium and extend across the parietal bone region of the cranium:said band having depending regions shaped to closely confine the temporal bone regions and the mastoid process regions of the cranium with relief areas there between to expose the ears when the orthosis is worn by a patient, said depending regions of the orthosis being adapted to provide regions of contact which fall within planes of the cranium which have circumferences which are less than the maximum occipitofrontal circumference of the cranium whereby the orthosis is held in place on the cranium when in use; anda rear depending region shaped and configured to cover the occipital region of the cranium to thereby prevent flattening of the occipital bone region of the cranium.
