ABSTRACT:
A portable patient supporting seat that is not only comfortable but also controls the spine support by correct pelvis positioning. Ischial turerosity (protuberances) support the users body while sitting and elevate the anus from the seated height. A first advantage of the present invention that is a modular pad, is to provide a build up that assists the body in supporting the anus externally and relieving the load on the sphincter muscle. By varying the configuration and modifying the dimensions relief of the ischial tuberosity and coccyx pressure is achieved. Adding a back support to the present invention allows better support for some patients suffering low back pain as well as providing a support insert that may be used in wheel-chairs as well as in automobiles. The modular structure of the present invention is to provide configuration components that are interchangeable, yet each configuration being self contained.
