Lying-Down Movement Training for Toileting

Lying down does not allow for direct 'movement training for toileting', but specific movements or methods can be used to promote defecation or urination. Details are as follows:

Lying-Down Training Movements for Promoting Defecation

1. Patting Both Sides of the Belly Button: In the morning, lie flat on the bed and use both palms to moderately pat both sides of the belly button until the abdomen feels slightly warm and there is a sensation of something moving inside. This movement can stimulate intestinal peristalsis and help with fecal excretion.
2. Abdominal Massage: Place both palms on top of each other and gently draw circles over the entire abdomen, moving from right to left and from top to bottom. By massaging the abdomen, you can awaken intestinal function and promote defecation.
3. Abdominal Compression: Bend both legs and wrap your arms around your calves to compress the abdomen. This posture can increase abdominal pressure, stimulate intestinal peristalsis, and aid in defecation.
4. Z-Shaped Movement: After lying flat, raise both legs simultaneously to 90 degrees, bringing the thighs close to the abdomen as if folding the body into a Z shape. Repeat this 10 times. This movement can activate the rectus abdominis and pelvic floor muscles, pushing feces forward.
5. L-Shaped Movement: While lying flat, straighten both legs and lift them off the bed surface to form a 90-degree angle with the torso, then slowly lower them. Repeat this 10 times. This movement can stretch the colon, speed up intestinal peristalsis, and promote defecation.
6. Bicycle Movement: After lying flat, raise both legs and perform an air-bicycle movement, alternately touching the chest with each leg for 2 minutes. This movement can enhance the rhythmic contraction of the colon, soften hard stools, and facilitate excretion.

Lying-Down Training Methods for Promoting Urination

1. Adjusting Body Position: When lying flat, slightly elevate the head of the bed to tilt the upper body at a 15 - 30-degree angle. Use gravity to assist the movement of urine towards the urethra and promote urination.
2. Relaxing the Mind and Pelvic Floor Muscles: Maintain a relaxed mood, avoid tension and anxiety, and consciously relax the pelvic floor muscles while taking slow, deep breaths. This can promote autonomous contraction of the bladder and aid in urination.
3. Warm Water Stimulation of the Lower Abdomen: Gently apply a warm towel to the lower abdomen to promote contraction of the bladder smooth muscle, awaken the bladder's urination reflex, and assist in urination.
4. Listening to Running Water Sounds for Induction: Play soft running water sounds and use conditioned reflexes to stimulate the brain's urination center, activate the contraction of the bladder detrusor muscle, and promote urination.
5. Moderate Massage of the Lower Abdomen: Gently massage the lower abdomen in a clockwise direction with the palm to promote bladder contraction, push urine towards the urethra, and aid in urination.
