Complications of prolonged bed rest in patients with cerebral infarction fall into three main categories: first, skin pressure sores, mainly in areas where the skin is compressed, such as the heel or sacrococcyx; and second, infectious causes, such as urinary tract inflammation or lung infection. The third is due to a long time without movement of limb joints, resulting in joint stiffness or surrounding soft tissue contracture pathological changes, easy to affect the recovery of later motor function, resulting in sequelae phenomenon.
