Re: Does someone put an helmet with a 6 mm assymetry

At 11 months you need to get started as soon as possible. I think it would improve a lot.KimFrom: J T <jluistor@...>Plagiocephaly Sent: Fri, November 5, 2010 3:46:11 PMSubject: Does someone put an helmet with a 6 mm assymetry

Hi,

I would like to know if someone put a helmet with a plagiocephaly of 6-7 mm (difference between the 2 diagonal) ?

My baby's got 11 months. I can see the assymetry on the face and the ear. I see it, the other persons say that they can't appreciate it.

And if someone put a helmet, how many milimeters would be improve?

Thank you.

Hi,

If it bothers you, I would definitely put a helmet on. You should

do it as soon as possible. It depends on growth, how much

improvement you would get. If you get the helmet very soon, you

could go down to normal range (under 3mm). I'm not sure whether you

would see improvement in the ear or not, but I would expect the

forehead to improve.

Best,

Kathy

Oh, another thing. I guess my older son's measurements were around

6mm. It didn't bother me until he was 5 years, and then I could see

it. This was because I became sensitive to plagio after my younger

son was diagnosed. The safest thing to do is put the helmet on, so

it doesn't haunt you in the future. -Kathy

For the ear you could try cranial manipulation done.

We did 4 sessions and while we did not see improvement in the posterior asymmetry (back of the head, at the level it is being measured by starband) we saw improvement in the facial symmetry.
