PEDIASUIT, LLC
WESTON, FLORIDA

Pediasuit™ The group noticed that the material for the suit needed to be lighter and with a breathable material and also it needed to be easy to apply and to be removed and very comfortable. The whole idea was to make a suit so easy to use that it can be taught to therapists around the world and also to parents to apply it themselves back home if they leave in countries without Pediasuit™ Clinics. As per its construction, the suit is manufactured in the USA with several parts coming from India, Indonesia and Malaysia. The Pediasuit™ is made of a soft fabric with breathable pads to make its long term use more comfortable for the patients. Its short also have buttons on the bottom to make diaper changes, if necessary, easier for the caregivers, with no need to take the whole suit off and wasting precious therapy time. The exo-eskeleton produced by the suit increases the significant effects on the patient's ability to perform new motor plans. With the ability to provide artificial formation and reinforcement of correct or appropriate movement patterns through the suit with repetitive exercises, patients learn new motor plans and increase their strength simultaneously. Its locomotor neurological component combined with strength training, makes the suit ideal for many neurogenic movement disorders, especially cerebral palsy. To date, hundreds of special needs children and athletes in recovery from all over the world have benefited from the use of the Pediasuit™. The stories of success are many but it does not involve kids learning to walk only but an improvement in their lives in general. Patient received intensive physical therapy 4 hours/day, 5 days/week for 4 weeks. Patient began each session with a warm-up that included brushing, joint compression, ROM/stretching, sit-ups, bicycles and bridging. Exercises were completed with minimum assistance from the therapist. Patient completed transitional activities with minimum assistance. Following transitional activities, the PediaSuit was donned. The patient then completed postural, balance, walking, strengthening, and coordination activities. The patient also utilized the ability exercise unit and the spider cage daily to perform balance (static and dynamic), coordination, mobility and strengthening. The patient's Mom opted to purchase a PediaSuit and were provided with training for the donning and doffing of the suit. The Mom was also provided with education and a home exercise program so she could continue his stretching program and exercises once they returned home. We are more than pleased with the results we have seen in our intensive therapy program. This case is just one example of the improvements we see daily.
