Abstract

Support harnesses and systems and kits including the same are disclosed. A support harness includes a plurality of straps arranged such that a first strap, a second strap, and a third strap are spaced apart from one another, and the third strap extends between the first strap and the second strap. The support harness further includes a first connection piece extending between a proximal end of the first strap and a proximal end of the third strap and a second connection piece extending between a proximal end of the second strap and the proximal end of the third strap. The first strap, the second strap, and the third strap are each positionable around a horizontally positioned subject by wrapping the respective distal ends around a body part of the horizontally positioned subject and coupling the distal ends to the respective portions.
