Guest guest Posted February 27, 2001 Report Share Posted February 27, 2001 Hello and welcome - I'm glad you found this group. I think you will find a wealth of information about plagio just from reading past posts. Also, you can check out the files and links section on the plagio home site. Glad to hear about your good experience with the DOCband. You must have a good orthotist. Sorry to hear about the STARband not working in your case. That is very unfortunate. Did you have trouble with the orthotist as well? There are quite a few people who have, unfortunately, had bad experiences with the STARband, but there are an equal number who have not been happy with the DOCband. I just say this in case there are other new people out there who are using the STARband - I don't think the STARband itself is inherently bad, but if the orthotist who is handling it is not experienced, skilled and willing to listen to the mommy it sure can produce a very bad experience for all involved! A good, experienced, skilled and attentive orthotist can, I believe, make either product work. Incidently, mine is an unbiased opinion since my child did not use either of those products - she is wearing a locally made helmet which has been very good - but that is thanks to an outstanding orthotist!! I think it is great that you are happy with your current device and I hope you have great luck with it!! Please keep us posted on your baby's progress. Also, if you have trouble looking at the files or links section for additional information please let me know!

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2001 Report Share Posted February 27, 2001 I'm new to all of this internet stuff. I'm not really sure what I am doing. My son's name is Spencer and he is 1 year old on March 6, 2001. He is now wearing his second helmet and we go to Cranial Technologies in Charlotte, N.C. We live in Virginia Beach. We have also tried the STAR Band and it DOES NOT WORK. It didn't even fit his head properly. They made two and both of them were screwed up. The DOC Band has made an incredible difference in his head. I've contacted the local news about this condition. I've never heard anything else about it before. If anyone has any info please let me know. Any advice on how this group works would be great also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 27, 2001 Report Share Posted February 27, 2001 We have also tried the STAR Band and it DOES NOT WORK. It didn't even fit his head properly. Hi and welcome to the group. Sorry to hear about your STAR band problems and that it did not work for you. There are many people here who have had great success with the STAR band. What I believe the concensus has been is the Orthotist is the KEY to the device's success. Without someone who is competent with the adjustments & casting, any helmet is useless and ineffective. My daughter has been only wearing her Star band since 2/12/01, so I am by no means an expert, but we are definitely seeing some changing already. Good luck on the local news story. This site provides excellent information as well as support. Tuesday's there are chats and we have two fabulous moderator's, Kendra & Marci. There are also experts, like Tim, and others who serve as great resources also. Good luck to you and Spencer.
