Abstract
A device and related method for supporting a patient in an upright, seated position during a treatment, for example, during a physical therapy session is provided. The support device can include a base frame, a support arm, a center bolster and a back support pivotally joined with the base frame and/or the center bolster so that the center bolster is supported in an upright position by the base frame. The base frame can be configured to secure to a support structure thereby preventing the device from sliding across a surface of a support bed on which a patient is disposed. Lateral bolsters can be joined with the center bolster and/or base frame to laterally stabilize the patient. The device can be void of a seat bottom disposed under the patient. The related method can include steps of using the device.
