The sheets are wrapped around the patient and connected at their ends, by vertically extending lateral tabs, e.g. 9a, 9b that afford support for connecting pipes, e.g. 10a, 11, 10b, that connect the inflatable tubes of adjacent sheets. The articulation is provided by hinges 12, 13, or motorized articulators, Figs. 4, 13 (not shown), that are connected by arcuate bars 14, 15, Fig. 3 and vertical, optionally telescopic pins, e.g. 18, that are pinched between the tubes when the latter are inflated. A footwear extension 24 may be provided, and the sheets may be connected at their ends in numerous ways.
