　　There are a lot of long-term bedridden patients who walk out of bed after rehabilitation will have unstable walking. They often need help from others. Otherwise, there will be a fall. This is due to the fact that the patient is unable to support his physical strength due to the patient's inflatable bed. However, the main reason is that the patient's foot drop caused by prolonged bed rest affects the patient's post-recovery actions, so the caregiver should take care to prevent the patient from sagging during the patient's bed.

　　Prevention of foot drop should strengthen the patient's lower limb training, focusing on the training of the patient's heel and ankle joints. Such training can greatly reduce the probability of foot drop. The daily nursing staff can hold the patient's heel with one hand, one hand holds the back of the ankle on the back side of the patient's foot, and the forearm of the heel is used to hold the sole of the foot, and the heel is pulled by hand to make the neck of the foot reach the largest in the back of the foot. Limit the buckling, after a few seconds, return to the original state. Then slide the hand on the back of the foot toward the toe, hold the instep, and lift the heel hand up to make the leg straight. Follow the above actions twice a day, repeating ten times each time, so that you can prevent the foot from falling down.

　　In addition to the necessary lower limb training for the patients on weekdays, the use of effective nursing aids is also important for preventing foot drop. Suzhou Huierkang Medical Devices Co., Ltd. has developed an anti-foot droop for bedridden patients. T-shoes, this T-shoe can effectively fix the footsteps of bedridden patients, preventing foot sag caused by prolonged bed rest and hemorrhoids in the feet.

　　Whirlamp's anti-foot dangling shoes are soft and will not rub the skin. They are empty at the side for easy ventilation. The heel is open for design, and the bed surface is raised to prevent hemorrhoids caused by long-term compression of the heel. It is very convenient to put on and take off the shoes; change the bottom edge of the original original wood board, the hard foam is not easy to be deformed, the light and soft will not wear or hook the sheets; the upper design can effectively prevent the formation of the foot drop for long-term bed rest.
