Guest guest Posted July 18, 2002 Report Share Posted July 18, 2002 Pattie, Would you be able to tell me where exactly to look for the article regarding the study in prevention of plagio?

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2002 Report Share Posted July 18, 2002 Pattie: In the link you provided, I don't see the word plagio mentioned anywhere. The product looks like a protection device only from what I can see. Any more info on it?

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2002 Report Share Posted July 18, 2002 Sorry, the website doesn't have the info on the testing for prevention of plagiocephaly. It appeared in a news report in an article I read. Here is the complete article: Plum Enterprises, Inc., Valley Forge, PA, designer and manufacturer of attractive, ergonomic ProtectiveWear, provides headgear originally " designed for little kids. " As Plum's president Janice Carrington soon found out, however, the lightweight safety, comfort, and custom fit offered by ProtectaCap soon created a demand for adult sizes as well. Today, says Carrington, ProtectaCap is hailed by health care professionals, parents, and users alike. In addition to being cute and colorful, ProtectaCap, which is made with shock-absorbent Ensolitefoam, is ideal for post-surgery and therapeutic activities. Tested by safety engineers, the three-ounce ProtectaCap rates " excellent " in shock absorption. Available in five sizes, from newborn to adult, ProtectaCap is fully washable, has cosmetic appeal, and adds to the self-esteem of any individual who requires headgear. " This custom-fit, one-of-a-kind protective headgear makes hard, heavy helmets obsolete, " reports Carrington, who adds that the technologically advanced ProtectaCap+Plus was engineered to bridge the gap between hard and soft helmets, and is currently involved in studies to prevent plagiocephaly and head injuries from sports. Plum Enterprises's new ergonomic clothing line, ProtectaHip, is also garnering much interest. Plum Enterprises's Website is located at . For more information, call 800/321-PLUM, or E-mail at lynn@... This appeared 09.07.1997 in the Independent Living Provider magazine and was written by Barbara Woodworth I do alot of my searches for info on . At the top of the screen you can select what it will search for like web sites, web pages, news, or research documents. If you click on research documents it gives you an brief description of the article and you can purchase them one at a time or get a subscription of 50 articles for $4.95. I opted for the subscription since there were alot on torticollis I wanted to read. Well, 50 is alot and when I ran out of ones I really wanted to read I decided to do a search for plagio. Something about the description made me look at this article which also contained several devices for handicapped children. Just thought I'd share, but looking at the date (9/10/97) I guess their study didn't work out? That was 4 years ago. Pattie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
