10.0 Clinical setup
10.1 Before you start
It is recommended before
setting up the Squiggles TT
that a mat assessment is
done. To do this, place the
child in supine (lying on their
back) on the mat. You will
need to measure from the
bottom of the child’s foot in a
neutral position to the child’s
ASIS
. This will be the height
between the centre of the
PELVIC SUPPORT and the top
of the sandal. It can be set by
adjusting the leg supports .
Measure the distance from the
child’s ASIS to the point where
they start to lose trunk control
(see ‘SATCo’ assessment).
This will be for the placement
of the TRUNK SUPPORT .
Measure from the bottom of
the child’s foot to the centre
of the knee. This will be for
placement of knee supports.
It’s recommended to adjust
the height whilst the frame is
in an upright position.
10.2 Adjusting the
overall height
The overall height of the
standing support can be
adjusted by loosening the
bolt on the back of the
main frame with the
multi-tool
. Sliding the
inner stem to the desired
height and re-tightening
the Allen bolt. A calibration
strip is fitted on the side
of the inner frame to help
you record the selected
positions of the supports.
There is also a safety stop
at the maximum height.
