Abstract: |
An adjustable hospital bed 10 is provided that
integrates a means for physical exercise, such as a treadmill 40 or
bicycle pedals 84, in order to allow a patient to participate in
physical exercise without requiring the patient to leave the confines
of the adjustable bed. The means for physical exercise is mounted to
the bed 10 so as to be easily transitioned from a stored position to an
operative position, preferably without the operator needing to locate
any additional components. Adjustable hospital beds in accordance with
embodiments of the present invention reduces incidence of pulmonary
emboli, enhances protein metabolism and resultant healing, decreases
the time of recovery, improves the patient's well being, improves
patient's skin care and improves the patient's strength and balance. |
Obviously has a use in physical therapy clinics, but should in no way be used as a replacement for regular treadmills.

Thank you for sharing this post. I found it very informative and helpful. I am trying to get in shape for bathing suite weather and running on my treadmill is my favorite exercise activity. Lately I have incorporated arm weights while running and the results have been great!
