Can repo cause brachy? and more

[Guest guest]

Maybe this has been discussed before. I am wondering if repositioning

a child with plagio can cause brachy. We noticed my son's flat spot

at about 3 months and really started repositioning a few weeks

later. The main changes I noticed in the 2 months we did were that

there was less of an angle to the flat side and that he seemed to get

flatter in back. Did repo cause that?

Also, we have had great results with the Starband for the plagio:

down from 11mm to 2mm in six weeks (we were down to 3mm in just three

weeks!). But we just went from 91% to 90.5% cephalic index. How

much longer will it take to get down into the mid-80's? Or will we?

The orthotist isn't really very concerned with the brachy--he thinks

it will resolve itself over time. Is that true? 's head isn't

really flat on back, it just has a kind of round rather than oblong

shape. I should really post some pics! I can't post " before " pics

because the correction was so quick I didn't get around to taking any.

Thanks!
