What Is a Foot Board?

A foot board is an innovative piece of equipment designed to keep a patient in a safe and stable position throughout the night. A patients feet are placed on the soft and comfortable material, as they would at the end of a standard bed. This prevent them slipping down the bed as they natural move throughout the night.

Is the Bed Foot Board Restrictive?

A foot board is not restrictive, as it simply provides a buffer that prevents the user sliding down the bed. There are no attachments or fastenings, it simply provides a soft surface to prevent sliding.

What Does the Anti-Entrapment Footboard Do?

The foot board stops the user sliding down the bed as they sleep. Why is this needed? Certain conditions mean a lot of movement during the night that can result in falls and roll-out. A foot board is a comfortable and safe way of ensuring a natural and safe sleeping position is maintained throughout the night.

Who Should Use One?

If you or a patient move about routinely during the night and find that this is causing muscle pain, sciatic nerve pain or other pain in the legs, then maintaining and encouraging a more static position whilst sleeping may help to alleviate some symptoms.
