Placing a pillow between the client's legs when turning helps support the upper leg, keeps the legs parallel and aligned, and prevents adduction of the upper leg, all of which are important for maintaining proper alignment of the spine and preventing injury or discomfort to the client. It does not directly prevent hip contractures or stabilize the spine, although these may be secondary benefits of maintaining proper alignment.
