Guest guest Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 0-3 mm is normal <6 mm is very mild 6-10 mm is mild 10-15 mm is moderate 15+ mm is severe Molly Novato, California Nicolas, 2.5, tort & plagio, STARband (CIRS Oakland) 4/24/06-9/12/06, Graduate! , 5.5 , 8.5 Asymmetry Numbers? Can anyone give me an idea of what their child's asymmetry number was? My daughter is 8 mm. From what I understand this is " moderate " . However, most of the flattening is lower on her scalp. I understand that this area takes a lot longer to correct - outside of the helmet. The good news is that we are in day 2 of the helmet. Day 1 was rough... but it only gets better from here. She didn't mind having it on - it was the putting on/taking off part that aggravated her. So how much time (in the helmet) is too long for the first few days? She has no significant redness or lines when we remove the helmet. Just one sweaty head! Also, we will not have her sleep in it for a few more days. I had a lady at Meijer come up to me yesterday (while was wearing the helmet) just to give encouragement. Her son had a helmet several years ago - and had terrific results. What a cool thing to hear on our very first day! ------------------------------------ For more plagio info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 My son was 22mm. Up to 4mm is considered "normal". Best wishes with the helmet & your little one. http://www.webartivision.com/Plagio From: Mandy <rubyebel@...>Subject: Asymmetry Numbers?Plagiocephaly Date: Tuesday, September 23, 2008, 7:42 AM Can anyone give me an idea of what their child's asymmetry number was?My daughter is 8 mm.
