Which term refers to devices used to assist with ambulation and body alignment, such as rolled sheets or towels?

Supportive devices are used to assist with ambulation and body alignment. Items like rolled sheets or towels are placed to support limbs, stabilize joints, and position the spine and pelvis correctly during transfers or movement. These tools help maintain proper alignment, reduce strain on the patient and caregiver, and make safe mobilization possible, even when full weight bearing isn’t advisable yet. Weight bearing describes how much load a limb can bear, not the tools used to support or align the body. Bone refers to the tissue itself, not a device, and unaffected isn’t relevant to positioning or equipment.
