Однією з ключових інновацій у цій сфері є система амортизації, яка робить процес ходьби більш плавним і комфортним. Сучасні милиці можуть бути оснащені спеціальними вкладишами або пружинами, що дозволяють згладжувати удари під час ходьби, що особливо важливо для людей, які проходять тривалі фізичні навантаження. Це також може значно зменшити втому при використанні милиць у повсякденному житті.

The cost of manual hospital beds can vary widely based on several factors, including the manufacturer, materials used, and additional features. On average, a standard manual hospital bed can range from $500 to $1,500. However, prices can escalate with the inclusion of advanced features such as integrated side rails, adjustable head and foot sections, and sturdy construction for enhanced durability.

The evolution of mobility aids has significantly improved the quality of life for individuals with limited mobility. Among these advancements, the conversion of standard wheelchairs into electric wheelchairs has emerged as a practical and beneficial option. This transformation not only enhances independence but also addresses a variety of needs for users, making it an attractive alternative for many.

The eligibility for a home hospital bed varies depending on the specific medical condition and the patient’s individual circumstances. For heart failure and community-acquired pneumonia, Santos-Eggimann (2001) found that while a significant proportion of patients were medically eligible, the acceptance of home hospital programs was low. Salazar (2009) demonstrated the effectiveness and safety of a home hospitalization unit for acutely ill patients, particularly those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic heart failure, and pneumonia. Júnior (2010) emphasized the need for specific equipment, such as a versatile hospital bed, to support home care. Pian (2020) proposed a new model of pediatric home hospital care, suggesting that certain acute illnesses, including pneumonia, could be managed at home with appropriate support. These studies collectively suggest that a home hospital bed may be suitable for patients with specific medical conditions, particularly those with chronic illnesses or acute exacerbations, and when there is adequate support and equipment available.
