Have you had a chance yet to look in our Files and Links sections?

There are a lot of reports and studies there that might be what you

are looking for. HTH

The paucity of articles on plagiocephaly can be explained by the

fact that until the mid-1990s, plagiocephaly was a relatively rare

condition affecting only one in 300 infants. Today, conservative

estimates predict the incidence to be as high as one in 50,

representing a sixfold increase from the pre-1990 levels. It is no

surprise then that roughly two thirds of the articles written on the

subject have been published in just the last 10 years.

I got this from the journal of orthotists and prostethics website

Hi ,

My daughter's physical therapist at St. Barnabas Hospital in NJ told

me that she used to see about 5 - 6 torticolos babies per year. She

now sees that many per DAY!

You may want to contact CT headquarters. I'm sure they collect that

type of statistical data.

Best of luck,

Mom of Sophie 5 months

To be banded next week.
