KatMac -> abdominal binder (March 5, 2006 10:45:00 AM)
|
I am seeing a 13 month old little boy who is diagnosed with hydrocephalus. He is now sitting independently, is not creeping or maintaining quadruped for more than a few seconds. He has had respiratory issues, is frequently congested, and presents with a high ribcage (very immature appearing ribcage) and pectus excavatum. He has quite a protruding belly. I am working on bringing his ribcage down and strengthening abdominals and a previous P.T. suggested an abdominal binder. What do you think about using the abdominal binder? How do you measure for one?
Thanks for your input.
