These pillows make good bolsters for the feet. Not under the ankle, but between the client's foot and the bed's footboard. The foot should be propped up to a normal position, at close to a right angle. Not straight out and unsupported for lengths of time.
You also need those pillows when using Craftmatic or hospital type beds, because the client may slide down when you don't realize it. You don't want their feet wedged against anything hard at the foot of the bed.
