ABSTRACT:
A support pillow for severely disabled persons to maintain them in an erect posture. The support pillow comprises a planar frontal element to rest beside the patient's chest, the top of which has a portion defining a chin support area having a lower mid-point than the outer ends of the chin rest, and adjacent to the chin rest and extending rearward is at least one neck support element. This neck support element is of sufficient length to extend beyond the patient's neck, thus providing lateral support to the patient's neck such that in combination with the chin rest, the patient's head is held in a substantially normal attitude.
