Prolonged in-bed treatment and inactivity of critically ill patients can lead to severe physical conditions, significant loss of muscle mass, and increased muscle weakness that can result in prolonged spending in both intensive care units and the hospital. Realization of the long-term physical and psychological consequences of prolonged immobility has led to the advocacy of early mobilization for intensive care patients.

Intensive care beds can be designed for these situations to help the patient regain muscle mass after the intensive care process, or support surfaces that can prevent pressure injuries that may occur during the intensive care process and provide microclimate management will accelerate the recovery of the patient after intensive care.
