卧床休息历来被用于治疗老年人中流行的许多慢性疾病。不幸的是，不活动的有害后果使老年人易患显著的功能衰退和生活质量下降。长期不活动会减少大多数器官系统的生理储备，尤其是肌肉骨骼和心肺系统。因此，肌肉无力、挛缩形成、体位性低血压和血栓形成事件在卧床病人中很常见。幸运的是，当代研究已经打破了不运动促进康复的神话，并提出了一些技术，可以预防不运动引起的功能障碍，并确保对脆弱和老龄化人群有益。
Bed rest has historically been used therapeutically in the management of many chronic maladies prevalent in elderly persons. Unfortunately, the deleterious consequences of immobility predispose elderly persons to significant functional decline and reduced quality of life. Prolonged inactivity reduces the physiologic reserve of most organ systems, particularly the musculoskeletal and cardiopulmonary systems. Consequently, muscle weakness, contracture formation, postural hypotension, and thrombogenic events are common in bed-bound patients. Fortunately, contemporary studies have dispelled the myth that inactivity fosters healing and have suggested techniques that may prevent immobility-induced dysfunction and ensure beneficial outcome in fragile and aging populations.
