Bed Rest, Skin Care and Bedsore Prevention It is important to pay attention to the position you lie in, and when you are confined to bed, you may need help in positioning. During sleep, we unconsciously change position many times a night. This keeps muscles moving and stops cramping, stimulates blood circulation and prevents skin breakdown. There are three important steps you can take to avoid bedsores and muscle atrophy: 1. Careful selection of the surface you will be lying on; 2. Frequent change of position; 3. Adherence to a specially designed exercise program suitable for your needs and capabilities.
