What is STARband Treatment?
The STAR cranial remoulding orthosis (band / helmet) redirects normal head growth to improve normal proportions and symmetry to your child’s head. The term STARband was derived from the helmets purpose; Symmetry Through Active Remoulding. The STARbands or STARband helmets are custom orthoses designed individually for each child to provide total contact over the prominent or bossed areas of the child’s head with voided areas correctly placed corresponding to the flattened areas. The total contact area discourages growth and the voided areas encourage and allow all growth. Therefore the STARband functions by directly channelling your child’s head growth into the flattened areas, creating symmetry and normal length. The STARbands are constantly altered and modified throughout treatment by your specialist at Vitality in Motion. The alterations correspond directly to your child’s head growth to continually maximise improvement within the shortest time.
