ABSTRACT:
A support pad for relief of osteoarthritis of the hip joint, which connects the trochanter to the pelvis. The support pad has cushioning means for comfortable placement against the user's pelvis. The cushion has sufficient thickness so that when the user is lying on his side, it shifts body weight bearing pressure from the trochanter to the pelvis to reduce pressure on the hip joint, and thereby reduce pain in the joint. The support pad may have adjustable thickness to accommodate the anatomical geometry and weight of different users. A leg cushion may be used between the inner thighs to further reduce pressure in the hip joints.
