Re: Any Michiganders out there?

Hi Helen:

We have several members who have or are still using a passive style

helmet with good success. It is true, that a STARband or DOCband are

the most common - but as long as the orthotist who will be treating

your child with her helmet is trained & educated, you should still

see good success.

I live in Grand Rapids Michigan. My daughter first wore a STARband

made by my local orthotics & prosthetics hospital in GR. She didn't

have any improvement while in that STARband so we switched her to a

DOCband which we had good results in. If you'd like the name of the

hospital we rec'd our STARband from, feel free to email me directly &

I'll give you the name.
