Hello,
I'm afraid I can't help you, but I didn't want you to think you were being ignored. Most likely, those reading the posting are like me and don't have an answer for you. I have to rely on my specialist (Dr. Waters) for answers like this. Do you have a doctor you can speak with that specializes in BPI? I hope you are able to find the help you need for your son.

Try checking out Dr. Pearl in Los Angeles. He's had success treating older children for loss of external rotation.
