Introduction[edit | edit source]

Muscle atrophy (sarcopenia) and muscle strength losses occur very quickly with prolonged bed rest. Hospitalization of ≤5 days, referring to disuse/immobilization/ or prolonged time in the supine position bed, causes significant decreases in muscle mass and size. This, in turn, leads to functional decline.

  • There is a logarithmic progression for the disuse-induced loss of strength and muscle atrophy.
  • In the first 2 wks of bed rest, muscle strength decline is much faster than muscle atrophy.[1]
  • The loss of skeletal muscle mass and/or strength during hospitalization increases patients morbidity and mortality rates. Probably related more to the impact of disuse on metabolic health than by muscular changes,[2]

Bed Rest: Metabolic Muscle Changes[edit | edit source]

The main metabolic muscular changes in response to bed rest are insulin sensitivity and a decrease in metabolic flexibility.

  • Muscle glycogen build-up in bed rest decreases insulin sensitivity and storage of glycogen
  • Lipid overload in muscles leads to lipotoxicity causing inflammation to develop during bed rest
  • Muscle metabolism from changes from fatty acid to glucose oxidation
  • With long term bed rest internal mitochondrial alterations occur[3]

Prevention[edit | edit source]

Recent research shows that exercise interventions significantly attenuate loss of muscle mass.

  • The exercise interventions included resistive exercise (RE), resistive vibration exercise (RVE), flywheel resistive exercise, treadmill exercise with lower body negative pressure (LBNP) and a zero-gravity locomotion simulator (ZLS).
  • Even with exercise intervention, high rates of bone loss were still observed.[4]
