The torso-covering device (22) and extremity stabilizing devices (26) are each of single assemblage comprised of one-quarter inch thick open-cell foam flame laminated to engageable-loop material. The torso-covering device is closed with detachable engageable-hook closure straps (24). The extremity stabilizing devices (26) are applied to the torso-covering device by engageable-hook tape strips that are attached to the longitudinal edges of one planter surface of each device. The polymer-coated aluminum stays (28) are applied to stiffen extremity stabilizing devices when medically indicated, and are comprised of aluminum strips coated with polyvinyl chloride plastic with pressure sensitive engageable-hook adhesive tape is attached to a plan surface.
