ABSTRACT:
A pad for supporting a thigh of a person sitting on a seat in a position that alleviates pressure applied to the lower surface of the thigh and thus for improving blood circulation through the leg without numbness or similar phenomena associated with long-time sitting. The pad is made in the form of a soft deformable body filled, e.g., with a silicone gel. The pad has a flat rectangular bottom surface and curvilinear lateral sides. In the plane perpendicular to the bottom, the pad has a triangular cross-section with heights of the triangles gradually reduced from one end face of the pad to the opposite end face of the pad so that the ridge that connects the apexes of the triangular cross-sections from one end face to the other is inclined with respect to the flat bottom.
