Bedsores – What Are They and How to Prevent Them
The human body and its muscles are made for movement. Most of us move around quite a lot when sleeping but oftentimes we may be confined to one position due to a severe illness, injury, or during surgery when we are under anesthesia. The lack of movement prohibits the redistribution of pressure between our bodies and the surface we lay on, creating pockets of pressure especially on those parts where the bones are most prominent. The hips, buttocks, and heels are prime spots for bedsores to develop.
