How To Prevent Bedsores And Tackle Mobility Issues

May 14, 2012 - PRLog -- Specialty Medical Equipment of Washington Twp., MI is striving to achieve one goal: bring comfort to those who do not have the luxury of mobility. People who are unable to get out of bed or chairs often develop conditions called pressure sores, more commonly known as bed sores. A bedsore is caused from lying in one position on a particular muscle for an extended period of time. People who have limited mobility are always at risk of getting bedsores. But there are treatments out there and ways to prevent future problems.
Here’s a few tips from Specialty Medical Equipment:
- Change positions or have someone assist you in changing positions every 15 minutes
- Move within your ability as much as possible – bend and straighten legs and arms as often as possible to keep blood flowing
- Use specialized cushions and mattresses that relieve pressure in tender areas
- Have a care assistant change sheets frequently so they are always clean and dry
- Keep room temperature comfortable
- Eat healthy!
