Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 My STARgrad wore her band from age 9 to 12 months. I dont know how far down the line they are saying but she is 7 now and doing great. I don't think I have heard of this happening and I have been a member since 2002 Angie Behavior problems? Hello,I was talking to a DO today and he told me that he's not too fond of the helmet and he believes it might cause some behavioral problems in the child down the line. I was wondering if anyone else heard something similar or if anyone has noticed behavioral problems in their children?Marina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Marina, That's interesting. I will have to ask Liam's orthotist about that. I have noticed in the first week that he has been more fussy, not as happy....but that could just be the adjustment period. I really hope there aren't more issues down the line. I think for parents that go through this, it's plenty already!

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 What kind of behavioral problems would banding cause " down the line " or no ? I have read nothing that has mentioned this and I've read a fair amount. The only behavioral issues (and I wouldn't call them issues really) are during the adjustment period when they get used to wearing it. I'd be interested to know what your doctor is refering to.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I would ask the doctor specifically what he meant and what research he has to back it up the information he gave you. I have found that professionals often get overloaded with minor detail things (for example my son Philly (doc band for 4 weeks) is in PT for tort and other issue and he is in the process of skipping crawling and going straight to cruising and walking - our PT made a huge deal out this saying that if he never crawls he will never be able to read - what the heck - I asked her to clarify the correlations between crawling and reading and she made up some excuse about him not being able to hold a book correctly if he never crawls - a little far fetched if you ask me). So rest assured that this was probably a one time case that the doctor saw a child who wore a band who had behavioral problems later on and now correlates the band with behavior issues without taking any other factors into account such as the child's personality, environment etc....

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 He mentioned mainly hyperactivity... He's not really my doctor, I just called him to see if his treatments would be beneficial to my son and to see what experience he has with plagio..he did mention having patients with plagio but not too many. My opinion is that he doesn't have enough experience with plagio and he obviously prefers his treatment over the helmet.Sent via BlackBerry from T-MobileFrom: Lina Gabriev Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2009 09:54:09 -0500<Plagiocephaly >Subject: Re: Behavior problems?

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 i know this isnt excatly long term but my daughter who is 9 now and has behavioral problems, adhd and bipolar disorder showed symptoms before she was 2, so to me 2 years old would be a good age. Anyway wore the docband from 9-12 months and he is 27 mo now and still a laid back little guy, he gets upset when frustrated which is common in 2 yr olds but considering his severe speech delay so he doesnt really talk at all, I would think his would be worse than the average 2 yr old and it is not, actually he is better than many On Wed, Mar 4, 2009 at 12:56 AM, mane5476 <mane5476@...> wrote: Hello,I was talking to a DO today and he told me that he's not too fond of the helmet and he believes it might cause some behavioral problems in the child down the line.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Some babies (though rare) don't take to the helmet well at all, even after being in it for a while. He could have another adjustment after he's done wearing it, and go back to being good-natured. You also need to take into consideration his development and other factors at that age: is he teething? transitioning to baby food? loosing sleep because of the helmet or teething or both? etc. Those are things that can easily throw a good-natured baby out of whack. What Marina was talking about was long term behavior problems down the road in school-aged children (which there is no evidence to support). At this point, some babies are just fussier than others, and hopefully he'll be happier once he's out of his helmet.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 My son was 9 months when he got the helmet so he was more aware of the helmet being on him. He was fine during the day but was very uncomfortable at nights for around 2 weeks. He was also teething so I think that also had something to do with the fussiness.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 After banding my daughter developed a behavior problem called " the terrible twos " ;-) It is continuing into age 3. Her teacher tells me she's perfectly normal and a lot of help at school, since she likes to " take care of " the little ones. I haven't heard anything about plagio and behavior problems. So many kids are diagnosed as hyperactive these days, I'm sure some will be plagio kids. My daughter is just over 3 yrs, but I really don't anticipate any latent problems from banding. -christine sydney, 3 yrs, starband grad > > > Marina, > > > > That's interesting.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 My son's behaviour problems didn't start until this past year when he hit the terrible 3's :>) I don't think he is any worse than his brothers were at this age. In fact the whole 3-5 year old period is pretty bad from my experience and that was with two kids that weren't banded and the one that was banded seems to be following in their footsteps. If you plan on seeing the doctor again I would ask him to show you the studies that say that banding causes behaviour problems.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 That's very interesting. I'm aware of some of the neuropsychological findings in kids with ADHD and it's curious that plagio could somehow be related.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 If a misshapen skull would apply uneven pressure to or misshape the brain enough to cause any kind of long term behavioral issues, wouldn't correcting the skull shape so the brain has as even a pressure and a " regular " shape as possible help to lessen behavior issues and not create more then? Just seems to make more logical sense then banding causing long term issues.
