A portable orthopaedic device (1) for supporting a user (2) in a substantially upright or seated posture. The device comprises a collapsible column (5) having an upper end and a lower end, and a first support member (6) located at the upper end of the column. The device is configured to be positioned directly in front of the user with the first support member extending substantially symmetrically across the torso to support the user's elbows or forearms such that by a forward leaning action part of the user's weight is transferred substantially evenly and bilaterally to a surface upon which the lower end of the column rests thereby uniformly relieving stress on the user's spine whilst permitting substantially unimpeded movement of the user's hands. |
