Parkinsons and how an assistive bed can make your life easier

Parkinson’s disease is a condition in which part of the brain become progressively damaged over many years. The main symptoms of Parkinson’s are Tremor (involuntary shaking of particular parts of the body), slow movement and stiff and inflexible muscles. Difficulties with sleeping ie. Insomnia is also common with this condition so the need for a comfortable and motorised bed from Theraposture is vital.

Powered rotation, profiling and height adjustment

As with all neurological conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer’s and Motor Neurone Disease, a Theraposture electrically operated bed will provide greater independence, care and comfort at home. It will actively encourage better postural positions and improve well being through better sleep.

Turning Bed Solution

The original and patented Rotoflex turning bed system from Theraposture allows people with pronounced Parkinson’s to remain in the comfort of their own home for longer.

Reduce carer costs

This can negate expensive carer cost or the need to relocate into residential care as it provides a real alternative to hoisting.

Easier to stand up

Through precision German mechanisms, it provides powered assistance for people to get in and out of bed safely through supported movement. The sleeping platform rotates through 90 degrees so that a user with Parkinson’s can stand with reduced pain and at their own pace.

The clever engineering hidden within the Rotoflex is also height adjustable so a user can raise their posterior when in a seated position, therefore, results in easier standing.

Easy to use controllers

The buttons on the controller require minimal pressure to activate so owners with involuntary shaking can still operate the Rotoflex easily.

Range of mattresses

To maximise contentment in bed, Theraposture also provides a comprehensive range of mattresses that relieve pressure and offer extra support.

Pressure relief options

Mattresses range from luxury pocket sprung through to more specialist orthopaedic designs with anti-microbial and waterproof surfaces. Varying degrees of pressure relief can be offered through a choice of reflex and memory foam fillings.

Memory foam is an advanced type of visco-elastic PU foam that offers a high degree of pressure relief.
