Many medical conditions, especially cardiovascular illnesses, require the patient to change their position in ways they can’t achieve in an ordinary bed. These can include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and patients with severe cardiac conditions who can leave the bed but must avoid physical strain can also qualify for hospital bed coverage. These patients may need to have the head of the bed elevated more than 30 degrees due to their medical issues, but this usually comes after the doctor considers pillows or wedges and rules them out.

Underwater treadmills and resistance pools allow patients to perform exercises that might be too painful or challenging on land, thus encouraging gradual progression in their rehabilitation.

Many potty chairs come with fun designs, colors, and features that can engage toddlers and make them excited about using the potty.
