Best Answer

Patients (or animals) who are confined to beds for extended periods of time develop ulcers at the points of contact with the bedding. Friction, impaired circulation & the effects of gravity combine to begin the breakdown of skin tissue. Add in moisture, bacteria... and bed sores are the result. In other word, rotation of the body can counteract some of these forces to prevent and/or delay deterioration of skin & muscle at pressure points.
