ABSTRACT:
A positioner releasably positions a portion of a person's body relative to a supporting surface. The positioner includes a wide flexible band of sufficient length to encircle a portion of the person's body. The flexible band has accessible ends which have adjustable connections for connecting end portions of the band together around the body portion. An intermediate portion of the flexible band has a first velcro patch of predetermined size and shape facing away from the person's body. The positioner further includes a second velcro patch which is attached in a predetermined position on the supporting surface. When the patches are engaged, the positioner thus releasably supports the portion of the body relative to the supporting surface to aid in holding the body portion in position until the flexible band is released or until the two velcro patches are separated.
