Torso devices comprise a body having a central opening, interposed between an integral body front member and body rear member, for placement of user's torso therein. The front member has a top or table surface, and the front and rear members comprise surface areas for contacting the user's torso. The front and rear members are configured to impose a compression force against the user's torso. Together the front and rear member surface area and the compression force function to maintain a desired placement position of the front member relative to the user when placed in the central opening, e.g., perpendicular to the user's torso or parallel to the floor on which the user is standing, when the user moves from a sitting to a standing position and/or when the user is walking, to thereby provide a readily available table surface for facilitating certain tasks or activities.
