Again, the stroke arm should be well forward, keeping the elbow straight and
supported on a pillow. The stroke leg should be brought far enough in front of
the body to prevent the patient rolling onto the back, the knee bent and leg
supported on a pillow. A small pillow can then be placed under the patient’s
waist to maintain the line of the spine. When lying on the side position, the
patient should have two pillows only under the head.
