Abstract
A back support that provides lumbar support, mid-back support, lateral back support, and arm supports to compensate for a lack of strength in one's core muscles, such as after pregnancy or abdominal surgery. The arm supports are shaped to provide a surface to resist downward force of one's arms while allowing the arms to stay close to the body, as when holding or feeding a baby. The back support encourages proper spinal alignment by providing appropriate areas of support, including a protrusion on the top of the back support that serves as a physical cue to a user when their body is fully upright and centered.
Claims5
A back support comprising:
- a rear cushion having a top surface, bottom surface and front surface;
- a protrusion extending from the top surface of the rear cushion;
- a lumbar cushion disposed on the front surface of the rear cushion, the lumbar cushion having a central convexity shaped to fit the lumbar curve of a user's spine and lateral wings extending forward of the central convexity that wrap around the sides of a user's lower back;
- and
- two arm rests, one on each side of the lumbar cushion, each arm rest having a generally upward-facing surface extending forward of the lateral wings of the lumbar cushion, and against which a user can press their arms.
