First, encourage patients to take supine position. In order to prevent and correct flexion contracture of lower limbs, help prevent pressure sores and promote bladder emptying, the time of prone position should be gradually increased until patients with spinal cord injury can sleep in prone position.
Second, when lying on your back, you should use straps, sandbags or hind leg splints to keep it in a functional middle position. Don't put a pillow under your knees, and pay attention to the influence of mattress pressing.
Thirdly, in order to prevent contracture deformity, patients should sleep on a hard bed with a mattress and keep their bodies in the correct position, that is, according to the characteristics of the disease, put their limbs in the position opposite to the contracture tendency, and pay attention to protecting paralyzed limbs from oppression.
Four, for patients with spinal cord injury with obvious muscle spasms, they can also stay in bed or sit for a long time, and often use pillows or cushions to properly separate their knees.
