- Knee break: leg section of bed elevates and bends at knee area so the legs below the knee are angled downwards (triangular configuration)

Factors To Consider

In certain circumstances there is an element of risk involved in the use of a bed pole or bed rail. All users require an initial risk assessment. A risk assessment should be undertaken in each circumstance of use. The Bed Pole or Bed rail should not be used in circumstances where there is a gap between the vertical components and the mattress. Users most at risk would include: those with physical limitations, cognitive impairment or a combination of both, or where the intended user's faculties are comprised by medication. Users should have the risk assessed prior to the prescription of a bed rail or bed pole.

Regular monitoring is recommended particularly where the condition is changing.
