INTRODUCTION
Your child's doctor has determined that wearing a Miami Jr. collar will aid
in rehabilitation by maintaining your child's neck in the proper position
while healing. You will need to help your child understand that, although
not being able to turn or shake his or her head "yes" or "no" may seem
unusual, limiting neck motion is an important part of his or her treatment.
This pamphlet will explain the things you and your child's caregivers
should do to help your child properly use and care for the Miami Jr.or the
Papoose in the hospital or at home.

fit the collar. To prevent pressure on the child's chin or occiput and to
maintain appropriate airway and c-spine alignment, thoracic padding
should be maintained whenever the child is lying down, for the duration
