Plagiocephaly Baby Helmet - Rinella Prosthetics & Orthotics

A baby helmet for plagiocephaly or brachycephaly is not like any other helmet. Although it could help to protect your childu2019s head from bumps its more useful for u201cdirected growthu201d. The main aim of the helmet is to allow remodeling of the skull to a more round and symmetrical shape. This in the medical field is referred to as u201cnormalcephalyu201d. A little bit of asymetrical shape is actually considered within normal limits, but it is usually when a childu2019s head has a moderate or severe case of deformation that a baby helmet is requested. However, if your babyu2019s flat spot is larger (clinically described as moderate or severe), itu2019s because the head is softer during periods of growth and the child is spending perhaps too much time in one supine sleeping position. Other reasons for skull deformation might be due to the baby moving through the birth canal, or perhaps the baby is drawn to the light in a bedroom and they fall asleep in this position repeatedly. https://rinellapo.com/what-you-need-to-know-about-a-babys-helmet

  1. Rinella Prosthetics & Orthotics We also believe in the transparency of information for patients and caregivers. We openly discuss various topics to educate anyone with a question on prosthetics and orthotics. Topics include pricing and costs on prosthetic legs, feet and liners and other componentry.

  2. We also provide initial patient evaluations at no extra cost to patients, as well as routine proactive follow ups. We also enjoy giving inservices to facilities in Will, Dupage, Cook and Lake Counties and are constantly looking for ways to add value to our colleagues in the medical field.We also participate in and are credentialed with most insurance companies to allow for maximum reimbursement for our patient’s devices. We also provide at no extra cost insurance approvals for patients, as we realize it can be a difficult area for many people to navigate even if they have the time.Rinella Prosthetics & Orthotics, Inc. travels to nursing homes, hospitals and patient’s homes to provide service. We realize that people who need our help are not always in a position to travel and we take this on a case by case basis.

  3. Plagiocephaly Baby Helmet A baby helmet for plagiocephaly or brachycephaly is not like any other helmet. Although it could help to protect your child’s head from bumps its more useful for “directed growth”. The main aim of the helmet is to allow remodeling of the skull to a more round and symmetrical shape. This in the medical field is referred to as “normalcephaly”. A little bit of asymetrical shape is actually considered within normal limits, but it is usually when a child’s head has a moderate or severe case of deformation that a baby helmet is requested. However, if your baby’s flat spot is larger (clinically described as moderate or severe), it’s because the head is softer during periods of growth and the child is spending perhaps too much time in one supine sleeping position. Other reasons for skull deformation might be due to the baby moving through the birth canal, or perhaps the baby is drawn to the light in a bedroom and they fall asleep in this position repeatedly.

  4. Microprocessor Knee Rinella Prosthetics & Orthotics provides best microprocessor knee. All knee componentry is created to imitate the operation of the natural knee joint through different mechanics. When the patient walks, the knee prosthesis should flex and extend as a normal knee would. Microprocessor Controlled Knee (MPK) has advanced technology that allows the prosthesi to react to different types of surfaces or activities. This prosthesis has sensors that send signals to an internal microprocessor, which is responsible for modifying the knee’s rigidity according to the situation. This microprocessor acts in real-time, helping to prevent falls by adjusting the stiffness of the knee when detecting the beginning of a stumble.Another of MPK’s advantages is that it is an ideal prosthesis for people who have to face very different terrains, full of curves, ramps, mounds, or any sloped surface. If the patient needs to run, the microprocessor adjusts the stiffness of the prosthesis to keep up. This precise technology allows the patient to start using their prosthesis without problems related to range of motion.
