A **Fowler Bed (Manual)** is a type of hospital bed designed with multiple adjustable sections, allowing the user's head and feet to be independently raised or lowered through manual crank mechanisms. This bed is named after Dr. George Ryerson Fowler, who originally designed it for patients with respiratory conditions. The ability to elevate the head (semi-Fowler or high-Fowler position) is particularly beneficial for individuals with **breathing difficulties, heart conditions, or those recovering from abdominal surgery**, as it aids in respiration and reduces pressure on the diaphragm. The adjustable foot section can also help improve circulation or reduce edema. While requiring manual effort for adjustments, the Fowler bed provides significant therapeutic benefits and enhances comfort for bedridden patients, making it a staple in both home care and healthcare settings.
