Tips for a Correct Fit

For a good fit, measure each child according to the Sizing Guidelines; never select a size for
your patient based on eye-balling the SPIO.

You should be able to place your hand between the child’s body (in the trunk area) and SPIO
and feel significant resistance when you pull your hand away from the child’s body.
Approximately an inch of resistance is adequate. More and it’s too loose, less and it’s too tight.

When donning the shirt,

Make sure you have the sleeves turned properly so they are not
twisted. This can cause a bad fit in the armpit area. The hem of the shirt should fit over the
bottom and end at the trochanter. Un-zip the shirt and, if the child is able, have the child step
into the shirt and then feed the arms through the sleeves.

When donning the vest,

Attach one shoulder strap and the same side panel to the neoprene
back. With the child sitting or lying on their back, slide the child’s arm through the fastened
opening and attach the other shoulder strap. The child can be standing, sitting, or lying down
on their back, depending on the child’s comfort level. Place the child on their stomach on
your lap or on the floor (sitting, standing, or kneel-stand are also possible).

To attach the side panel, pull the vest down over the hips and wrap the panel snugly around the child. Fasten the crotch strap so it is snug, not tight. The crotch strap is designed to prevent the vest from
riding up. The vest should fit snugly and firmly. You may have to adjust it a few times after the
initial donning to optimize the fit. If you slip your hand under the abdominal area, with proper
tension, you should feel a snug compression.
