from body weight accumulation causes skin and underlying tissue injuries. Patients over the age of 65, those with limited mobility, and those suffering from lifestyle-related conditions such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes are particularly vulnerable to this medical condition.

Lack of physical activity and prolonged static positioning can lead to the development of pressure ulcers, which is exacerbated by friction between the resting surface and the body part in contact with the surface. According to the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research, bed-ridden patients should be repositioned every two hours, with a maximum head elevation of 30 degrees in beds with powered mattresses, if necessary.
