Benefits of in bed exercise for Patients with Chronic Diseases

Patients with chronic diseases can greatly benefit by using innovative in BedExercisers.

Benefits for Patients with Chronic Diseases

Enhanced Physical Health: Regular exercise using BedCycling from lemco can help in managing symptoms and potentially reducing the severity of chronic diseases. This can lead to improved overall physical health and well-being.

Reduced Hospital Stay: Exercise can expedite recovery processes, potentially leading to a reduced length of hospital stay for patients.

Decreased Rehabilitation Time: Engaging in exercise during hospitalization can lead to a reduced need for extensive rehabilitation post-discharge.

Ease of Use and Accessibility is crucial

The exercisers need to be easy to use - to be used !

  • Simple Operation: The BedBikes are designed for ease of use, allowing patients to exercise without requiring specialized training.
  • Non-Skilled Personnel Can Supervise: After a brief introduction, non-skilled healthcare personnel can effectively supervise and initiate exercise sessions, reducing the demand on specialized staff.

Patients Who Would Benefit Most

A high number of different patient groups will benefit from having the opportunity to exercise during a hospital stay.

  • Individuals with Cardiovascular Diseases: Exercise can improve heart health and aid in recovery and management of conditions like heart failure or post-myocardial infarction.

  • Patients with Respiratory Diseases: For those with chronic respiratory diseases like COPD, exercise can enhance lung function and reduce breathlessness.

  • People with Metabolic Disorders: Exercise can be particularly beneficial for patients with diabetes or obesity, helping in glucose control and weight management.

  • Post-surgical Patients: To accelerate recovery and reduce the risk of complications like deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

In Bed Exercise for Chronic Patients

Health is an Investment not an Expense

The cost of two days in a hospital, typically covers the cost of a BedBike usable by hundreds of patients a month.

  • Cost-Effectiveness: Investing in this equipment can be economically advantageous for hospitals. By reducing the length of hospital stays and the need for extensive post-discharge rehabilitation, hospitals can manage resources more effectively.

  • Reduced Strain on Healthcare Personnel: By enabling non-specialized staff to oversee routine exercise sessions, the equipment can help redistribute the workload, alleviating the burden on specialized healthcare professionals.

  • Improved Patient Outcomes and Satisfaction: Better recovery experiences can lead to higher patient satisfaction, which is increasingly considered in hospital evaluations and funding models.
