Re: Doc Band, Star Band, Helmet - Seattle

[Guest guest]

The results you'll get with any cranial molding orthosis, successes

and failures, really rely on finding a knowledgable, trained &

experienced orthotist.

We've had several Children's Hospital from Seattle helmet wearers in

our group. Kellie 's son, wore one, but I don't think he

had great results, simply becuz he began " older " (around 1) and the

helmet is passive style. Passive style helmets have best results

when began younger in the infant's life, simply becuz the passive

styles rely on growth spurts. After age 1, the child's growth spurts

decrease.

I think Kellie's email addy is kelliesmith@... She's super nice

& I'm sure will be happy to answer any questions you may have

regarding the Seattle Children's Hospital helmet.
