Our close friend has severe PD and his wife asked for help locating something to help prevent his neck/chin from dropping while he sleeps. Any suggestions for devices would be most welcome. She thought something similar to what one would use for a paraplegic (sp?) to support the neck would work, but we dont know what its called or where to look. He has a hospital bed and every possible type of pillow. Thanks!
There are memory foam pillows that are concave, so the neck gets added support. My suggestion would be to contact a medical supply company and see if they can give you any suggestions. Good luck!
Suggestions for sleep aid/devices for elderly man w/PD?
