Now the elderly stroke is a common disease, stroke has very serious sequelae, such as paralysis and so on. According to clinical practice, most of the paralysis caused by stroke is hemiplegia, or one limb paralysis, and two attacks involve bilateral limb paralysis, patients are often accompanied by language difficulties, often choking, or some degree of mental decline.

Nursing paralyzed patients is a matter of physical and mental exhaustion for family members and patients, because of movement and sensory disorders of paralyzed limbs, local vascular neuronutrition is poor, if the compression time is longer, it is easy to occur pressure sores.

Before the appearance of the nursing bed, the turn completely relies on artificial, through the patient's shoulder and back to force the patient to turn the body, the whole turning process is laborious, but also easy to cause the upper body to turn, the lower body is not moving, causing the injury.
