摘要

PURPOSE:To continuously remove the pain of knee osteoarthritis, by going to bed in such a state that a knee joint is brought to a proper posture of legs and further holding the knee joint by a holder so as to prevent the collapse of said posture during sleeping. CONSTITUTION:At the time of sleeping in a posture lying on one's back, both knee joints are brought to a special posture 1a wherein they are erected in a state bent at an angle of 135 deg.+ or -10 deg.. At the time of lying on one's back, both heels are opened left and right to take a special foot posture wherein a regular triangle, whose bottom side is the interval between the bottom parts of both heels and whose apex is set to a point where the sides of the both big toes are abutted, is held between the insides of both legs and, actually, a posture 1b1 wherein this posture is brought down by 45 deg.+ or -5 deg. forwardly is taken before sleeping. In order to prevent the detachment of the pillow 2a common under both knees or the change of the support angle thereof during sleeping, a notch 2a1 or guide sleeve 2a2 is provided to the lower part of the pillow and a support plate is used as a guide to hold the pillow so as to slide the same before and behind at a right angle.
