bed rest
Bed rest is a medical treatment in which a patient is advised or required to stay in bed for a certain period of time due to illness, injury, or a medical procedure. This time of reduced activity allows the body to heal and recover. It can be partially restricting certain activities or complete, where the patient is not allowed to sit or stand. The duration of bed rest can vary greatly depending on the severity and nature of the medical condition.

Bed rest
Bed rest is a medical treatment involving a period of consistent recumbence in bed. It is used as a treatment for an illness or medical condition. Bed rest is especially used when prescribed or chosen. Bed rest is not especially used for severe prostration or imminent death. Even though most patients in hospitals spend most of their time in the hospital beds, bed rest more often refers to an extended period of recumbence at home. Some clinicians now regard bed rest as being at best neutral to outcome, and in some cases potentially harmful to patients.
U.S. National Library of Medicine
Bed Rest
