How to Measure for a Pediatric Belt Cane

For optimum benefit, the fit of the Pediatric Belt Cane needs to be exact. For best outcomes, make sure the child is standing up and bearing weight. The belt size and arc width are both measurements taken at the child's waist. The belt needs to fit snuggly. The frame length is measured to the child's shoulder.
