Playmaker Soft Protective Helmet
Purpose
Children and adults can both benefit from protective headgear when their balance is poor, protective reflexes are slow, or when FOP has caused decreased arm mobility and limits the ability to quickly move the arms and hands to protect the face and head when falling.
Description
The Playmaker Soft Protective Helmet is made from highly protective foam to help disperse the force of impact from a fall. The lightweight construction offers protection without unnecessary pressure. It has a velcro chin strap and lace up back enable a custom fit. The lining can be easily removed for simple washing. This model of helmet does cover the ears fully which could hinder hearing or hearing aid wear.
How to make
If you are unable to afford a medical grade helmet or unable to ship this product to your home country, a soft shell sports helmet (sometimes called a rugby helmet) is a great alternative. They are inexpensive helmets used for sport, are lightweight and comfortable while still being made of protective foam, and can usually be purchased in fun colors. These types of helmets can be found easily on Amazon or in sporting good stores.
