I have a case of an elderly, non-spastic woman who cannot support her head
for more than a few moments. The patient's daughter came up with a
recommendation for a product or device called a Kellog brace. Aside from
not ever having heard of a Kellog brace, what can anyone recommend to
support the head for long term wear? I am of course concerned about
breakdown of the skin under the jaw. I also am not actually seeing this
person, the daughter is close by, but her mother is in another country.
There is no difficulty in sending devices to the mother as there are
practitioners in her area who could probably fit it porperly.
Thanks,
Aryeh
