At

92.6% I would classify that more as severe:

ideal ratio

- 78%

normal -

73-83%

moderate -

83.1% to 87.9%

severe - 88%

and higher

Alright,

I got an answer back regarding her cephalic ratio. It is: 92.6%

according to the measurements she took. The paper also says that there

is a standard deviation of +4.1.

Her mid-face and skull-face asymetry are 3mm each while her cranial vault

asymetry is 7mm.

Also, her cranial width is listed as 126mm and her cranial length at

136mm.

There you have it.

Hi Leila -

I looked at the pictures at it looks like your daughter has more of a case

of brachy than plagio. Did the PT at CT mention to you the Cephalic Ratio?

The Cephalic Ratio = Cranial Breadth/Cranial Length; the ideal ratio is 78%

and the normal range is 73-83%. At 7 mm of asymmetry I would say that she

has a mild case of plagio.

Please, take a look

Hello to all,

Could some of you please take a look at the before pics of my

daughter Maysa in the M folder on page 90. We took her to CT this

past Wednesday and I don't know what to make of it. We did not get a

sheet of her measurements but when I asked, the PT told me she was at

a 7mm and then told me that she had moderate brachy-plagiocephal y.

What do you think?

Her head is changing every day it seems and I think that I am going

crazy. She has been handling tummy time a lot more just within this

past week but she still sleeps a lot, on her back...

I felt that the therapist at CT was trying to sell us the band and

didn't even have us talk to their insurance specialist. As much as I

was anxious to pay them a visit, I am quite disappointed.

Also, after examining her the therapist was saying that the fact that

she has a right tort makes it hard for her to turn right, which is so

not the case. What she can't do is tilt her head left. When I said

that, she looked at her again and said oh yes, she (my daughter) was

just trying to trick her.

Needless to say that I wasn't too impressed...

Leila, mother of Maysa (5 months, right tort, brachy-plagio)
