Re: Journal of Prosthetics & Orthotics

[Guest guest]

Rick,

That was fast!! Oh no, I can tell I'm going to want a personal

copy - so much of this info would be a great addition to the group

site. We have very limited file space, however, so we can't upload

a bunch of documents.

The topics I am most interested in just off the top of my head are:

8. Clinical Evaluation Processes and Procedures for the Orthotic

Treatment of

Infants With Deformational Plagiocephaly.

Fish, Deanna MS, CPO[Consensus Topics]

10. Orthotic Treatment Protocols for Plagiocephaly.

Larsen, Jeff CO[Consensus Topics]

17. Deformational Plagiocephaly: Recommendations for Future Research.

Littlefield, R. MS; , M. PhD[Consensus Topics]

It's of great interest to the group to see some work done against

establishing industry protocols across the board for helmets and

bands, to help get some consistency from place to place, etc. Would

it be possible to copy and paste an article in a post here?

You are wonderful to offer up your help and time here, thank you so

much!

Ha! That's the one I just finished looking at (it caught my eye first). Here

are a few of the major points from it, but I'll try to look in more detail

tomorrow or Friday. I only have a few minutes and then I probably won't be back

on-line until tomorrow. Here are a few major points from the article:

1) Research on plagio is limited in volume compared to other areas of medicine.

2) No studies documenting its natural course.

3) Controversial --- Some experts believe head shape usually rounds out with

normal growth and development, but others do not share this view.

4) More research needed on natural history/course.

5) Insurance tries not to pay because there is no compelling evidence that

untreated plagio results in functional problems later in life.

6) Studies on helmets have been criticized because many of them have not been

controlled---- People make the argument that the heads would have rounded out

naturally without helmets.

7) Studies are neeeded that compare kids who get helmets to those who receive no

treatment, but there are ethical concerns about conducting this type of

research.

Gotta run, but I can look at it in more detail tomorrow!

I would love to see number 7 as the authors were my son's physical

therapist and her college professor who has also treated my son.

Christy and Rick,

If I can get electronic copies I'll put them on my personal webpage. So we can link to them.

I can only view them through my library account on our intranet. I wish we had

access to downloading articles, but I think you have to pay an extra fee to do

that.
