Abstract: An apparatus for securing a cushion to the lower leg cradles of a wheelchair. The apparatus includes a rectangular back section that rests against the leg cradles, and is easily secured to a wheelchair by mounting straps and footrest straps. Adjustable holding straps are positioned along the edges of the apparatus to secure a leg cushion of variable size between a passenger's calves and the back section. The apparatus can also be stored on back steering handles of a wheelchair by using the footrest straps as hangers.

Abstract: A kit for medical applications comprising a main body piece, at least one expansion piece and a sanitation cover. All of the pieces are preferably made of soft flexible materials. In one embodiment, the pieces, except the sanitation cover, are a soft cloth covering containing an internal cushion without an internal rigid frame. In an alternate embodiment the pieces, except the sanitation cover, are a soft cloth covering containing an internal cushion with an internal rigid frame. In yet another alternate embodiment, the pieces, except the sanitation cover, are a soft cloth covering containing a rigid or quasi-rigid internal frame and covered with a cushioning padding, such as foam rubber, batting or the like.

Abstract: A device, which is removably attachable to a wheelchair. The device comprises a footrest having a top section and a bottom section, which is spaced apart from the top section. The distance between the top and bottom sections may be spanned by a facing, braces or other distance spanning support structures. Attached to the footrest is a cushion support. Preferably the cushion support is attached to the top section of the footrest, but alternately may be attached to the bottom section or support structures. In one embodiment the cushion support is attached by at least one, preferably two, L-shaped brackets. Alternately, the cushion support may be unitarily formed onto the top section, such as when using injection molding or the like. Finally the cushion support may have width adjustment in order to fully vary the width of the cushion support.

Abstract: A body support for medical applications comprising a main body piece, at least one expansion piece, and at least one, preferably two arm pieces, which may have their own expansion pieces. All of the pieces are preferably made of soft flexible materials. In one embodiment, the pieces are a soft cloth covering containing an internal cushion without an internal rigid frame. In an alternate embodiment the pieces are a soft cloth covering containing an internal cushion with an internal rigid frame. In yet another alternate embodiment, the pieces are a soft cloth covering containing a rigid or quasi-rigid internal frame and covered with a cushioning padding, such as foam rubber, batting or the like.
