Medifeet 24

Heel decubitus, a pressure ulcer on the heel, is a painful and frequently occurring problem among patients confined to bed.

Pes equinus, or club foot, is another condition to be avoided. When a person is lying down the feet simply become an extension of the leg, and are not positioned as they would be if the person were standing.

The calf muscles tend to shorten as a result, and the Achilles tendon can shorten too.
