Adjustable manual hospital beds have a backrest feature which aids in achieving better comfort. Consider first a recovering patient in an average Canadian hospital. Now imagine a bound elderly Nigerian patient receiving home care. These culturally diverse care-oriented scenarios show how the versatility of the backrest adjustment is unapologetically maximized. It helps in maintaining an ideal and comfortable posture while reading, eating and resting, and enables staff optimally adjust the angle of the back rest for improved breathing, reduced soreness, and safe critical essential care delivery.
