Guest guest Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Debbie, under " links " the website is listed that explains the measurement terms. (Craniofacial Anthropometry - Measurement of the Skull and Face) For me the explanation on the model's face/head made the terms easier to understand. The good news is that with mild plagio Brielle would probably be done with treatment quickly. The standard time for a DOC band for many of us is about 4 months. It all depends on the age you begin treatment and the severity. You're right though, you can overcome the hot weather issue and everything else if you decide to band. Glad to hear you are making progress with the torticollis. Let us know how your numbers turn out. Lynette, mom to Nicolas 12 mos. plagio/brachy/resolved tort Murrieta, CA > > > > > Hi.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Thanks again Lynette. I'm sure I will be consulting you all on Tuesday. Thanks for the link, I'll check the measurement info. out. I'll keep you posted. Debbie > > > > > > Hi. We go to cranial tech on Tuesday the 24th. I was > > > wondering > > > > how > > > > > > they take the measurements to see about assymetry.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Debbie, This is so easy, it doesn't hurt and takes a couple of minutes, nothing invasive. You can also look here in the links for the folder on skull growth and bones, to help you understand what they are looking at and what they saying.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Debbie, Cranial Tech uses special calipers. They use boney landmarks on the head as reference points. They make quite a few measurments. Here is a link to some info ... Craniofacial Anthropometry - Measurement of the Skull and Face Check out this link for an illustrative definition of what types of measurements are taken of an infant's head and face to determine degree of plagiocephaly and other asymmetries. http://www.bioanth.org/biomed/anthropometry.htm mom to na DOC Grad www.thefilyaws.comDeborah B <aguinesslover@...> wrote: Hi. We go to cranial tech on Tuesday the 24th. I was wondering how they take the measurements to see about assymetry. How do they measure and what do they measure on the face. I'm nervous. We had Pt today and Cranialsacral therapy yesterday. Brielle is doing great with her range of movement and tummytime. She is still not really pushing up with her arms while on her belly. We are really working on repositioning her. Thanks, DebbieFor more plagio info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
