Re: Explanation of measurements?

[Guest guest]

it varies by orthotist so will vary by who responds but ths gist of what I was told is

0-3 is normal or " perfect "

3-9 is mild plagiocephaly with the majority of " normal " ppl falling in the 3-6 range

9-15 is moderate

15+ is severe

I think in most cases they try and aim for a 9 or lower as that is the # most typically recommend banding at. In our case we went from 15, 15 and 17 to 4, 5, and 6 so we were not recommended to do a 2nd band but I can still see it and if I had the time and money I would have tried to convince them to do another so i guess i would say it depends on what they look like, i would want under 6
