We experience that the RotoFlex active rising bed is especially indicated for people:

• who are unable to bring themself into a sitting position on the edge of the bed for mobilisation or getting up
• who have to be moved passive and free of strain for mobilisation and leaving the bed
• whose home nurturing person has to be disburdened to allow home care further on.

The RotoFlex active rising bed:

• conserves and often increases the mobility of the patient
• decreases the current effort for home and outpatient care
• reduces pressure loads caused by lying and long term stays in bed
• supports physical and psychological mobility
• gives a bed-ridden patient the experience of a diurnal rhythm (day and night circle), by either lying or sitting.

The Indication for RotoFlex active rising bed applies for all clinical pictures and disabilities that hinder the patient leaving bed to perform the sequence of getting from lying into sitting position by weakening the patient’s muscles, causing him pain, etc. The RotoFlex is also indicated if a person needed to assist this sequence is physically overstressed. The following clinical pictures often apply an Indication:

• most kinds of rheumatism, multiple sclerosis (MS), Amyotrophe Lateralsklerose (Motor Neuron Disease), osteoporosis, Parkinson’s disease, hemi-, para-, quadriplegia, apallic syndrome, aids in final stage, cancer in final stage, cardiac insuffiency.

In case of immobility caused by physical weakness the RotoFlex active rising bed supports rehabilitation and mobilization.
