Jenn,I would be happy to talk to her if she wants to talk to parents. did have early treatment, but it was with Risser casts. Although he had pretty good correction I have no doubt that rotation was NOT addressed.

One of my friends is getting her graduate degree in nursing and is thinking of doing her thesis/keystone project on PIS and casting. She will be doing presentations on it to both the community and to other medical professionals as well as potentially publishing the paper in a journal. Needless to say, I was so happy that she approached me interested in doing her project on this.

I am going to start by sending her the studies on PIS and Casting but I was wondering if she was interested in talking to parents and getting more information on specific children would any parents be willing to talk to her? She may not need to talk to anyone but I just thought I would ask now so I had some names and email addresses if she was interested.

Let me know if you might be interested in chatting with her if she is interested.
