ABSTRACT:
A sitting patient leg restraint comprises a central section, a hollow wide tube formed of cotton broadcloth or the like, elongated sufficiently as to be capable of looping around a thigh of the seated patient, and across the patient's mid-section (or lower torso) and around the sides at least to the back-rest of the chair. Tie straps of the same type of material extend from opposite ends of the central section. The interior of the central section is filled with a soft padding, such as cotton batting used in quilting, and the central section is divided into multiple sections by stitching or the like extending thereacross to assist in maintaining a relatively wide and flat shape, and to keep the padding secure and distributed throughout the interior. One end of the central section is located near a side of the chair back-rest, placed to extend along the patient's lower torso over the thigh-torso intersection into the groin area, thence under that thigh and back over the top of that thigh, across the lower torso and around the opposite side of the patient to the opposite side of the chair back-rest. The ties are then joined behind the back-rest.
