Inflatable neck support

Steve used a large inflatable travel pillow to provide much needed neck support while being dressed by his caregivers.

Description

When Steve used to get dressed in his chair, we used this pillow to keep his head from flopping forward. Steve would put his arms in the sides and his head in the top. This worked well for us. We used it until he got his tracheostomy.
