In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a patient support may generally consist of a single L-shaped piece of material with one portion of the patient support comprising a back support and one portion of the patient support comprising a leg support. The patient support may be folded into the general shape of a seat and the distal end of the leg support may attach to the distal end of the back support. The point of attachment of the leg support to the back support may be adjusted to increase or decrease the size of the patient support and to change the angular position of a patient in the patient support. The patient support may also include a strap that attaches to the leg support and may be used to attach the patient support to a patient handling device. The patient support may also include a positioning belt for adjusting the angular position of a patient. The patient support may also include an upper back support and a head support. In one embodiment, the patient support may include hand mittens. The hand mittens may be used by a caregiver to position the leg support under a patients legs and to position the back support behind a patients back.
