Positioning |
Aids to assist in the positioning of patients include:
Slings |
Can support the affected upper limb and may also reduce pain |
Pillows |
Can be used to pad, protect and support. Pillows are often used at pressure points such as elbows, knees and heels |
| Lap trays | Can be placed across the patient’s lap. This may increase the patient’s awareness of the affected limb as they can see it |
| Harnesses | Can be adjusted by velcro and can be used to support the affected shoulder |
