Does someone put an helmet with a 6 mm assymetry

[Guest guest]

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.

Do you know his cephalic index? that measures if he has brachycephaly (flat in

back with extra width). Depending on that you might get more improvement than

you think. Brachy and plagio combo is not unusual. You can band at 6 mm, but

insurance likely will not cover it. However if you have brachy too it would be

more reason to band.

I Have got these measurements:

Cephalic Ratio: 0,83

Radial Symmetry Index: 51,4

Oblique diagonal difference:7 mm

Upper facial difference:6,3 mm

Anterior ear shift: 7,2 mm

Cranial vault asymmetry :5,7 mm

Can you tell me something with these measurements?

His cephalic ration is 83% - so no brachy. His plagio is 7mm which is fairly

mild, but with his ear shift I would probably try banding. However correcting

the ears is difficult and doesn't always happen when the plagio corrects. Some

providers say they can't correct ears, but many parents will tell you they've

seen improvement. However from what i know the head in general tends to improve

faster than the ears and sometimes the ears don't correct as much as hoped.

You have helped me. What worried me the most are the ears and the face (the

ckeek). Thanks a lot
