Abstract
A device and method for positioning a human arm above the arm of a chair, the device being made of a soft pliable material and including a lower chair-adapting portion with one or more passageways approximating the shape of an arm of a chair adapted to fit securely around the arm of the chair, and a connected upper arm-elevating portion with a relatively low portion to accommodate and support an elbow and an angled, elevated portion to accommodate, support, and elevate an arm and hand. The method includes using the device and also positioning a person against the device, providing extra stability for the device and limiting the lateral motion of the person in the chair.
