Guest guest Posted April 3, 2000 Report Share Posted April 3, 2000 yes.. he's definitely left sided tort. he's been evaluated by the orthopaedist and phyical therapists. I just wondered if other people have the flat spot on the same side or opposite of the torticollis side. or what is the norm if there is any? thanks!

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2000 Report Share Posted April 3, 2000 We're confused! It seems more logical for the Tort to be on the same side as the flat spot ! We have always assumed that the side our son always favors turning to (i.e. the one he can turn most easily towards) is the side affected by the Tort, because this is the side with the shortened SCM. Therefore, it follows that the flat spot occurs on the same side of the head as the Tort. To simplify this explanation: 1. Baby has Tort affecting left SCM 2. Baby favors left side most of time as this offers least resistance 3. Baby develops flat spot on rear of left side of head Are we missing some technical term here????? We can't see how opposites can work! and Amos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically, if it is one of the SCMs beings affected by the torticollis, the posterior (back) flatness is on the opposite side. For example: if my baby has tightness in his left SCM, he will be inclined to tilt his head to the left and turn it to the right. This could make him more likely to develop a flat spot on the back of his head on his right. In short: a L tort = R flattening; R tort = L flattening.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2000 Report Share Posted April 21, 2000 Kendra- your e-mails always have that...it puzzled me too in the beginning, but someone said it is html (i think) code. Kimry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 21, 2000 Report Share Posted April 21, 2000 " & nbsp " doesn't actually mean anything useful - it's not a plagio acronym or anything like that. You'll have to excuse me while I put on my computer geek hat.... Different people in this email list use different programs to read their email. I'm assuming you are using AOL... others use Outlook, or Netscape or all kinds of other ones. Each email program works a little differently. What " & nbsp " actually stands for (I think, not totally sure) is " non-breaking space " , which is a special character some email programs use to assist in laying out the email. When an email program doesn't recognise what an " & nbsp " is, it writes it out in full. Maybe this is the first time you've been getting emails that were written by a certain other type of email program, so you've never seen it before. It could also be something that showed up for you when someone else's email program couldn't handle it and it was replied to.... Hope that made sense....
