Patients can be encouraged to exercise with the help of a hospital bed that folds down at one end to place its occupant onto a treadmill, a US expert has revealed.
Charles Filipi, a surgeon at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska, has even created a design for such a bed.
He says that these beds can do away with the involvement of numerous staff to get the obese into a standing position, and to find a treadmill for them to work out.
Filipi suggests that the treadmill be made into the hospital bed, reports New Scientist magazine.
