English translation:Prostration / state of exhaustion / failure of function
Explanation:
'Prostration' is fine, as it is a commonly used term in this context.

If you want an alternative, then 'a state of exhaustion', or 'failure of function' would be suitable.

agree  philgoddard: In bed, or bedridden prostration. I'd go for the literal "prostration". I think it would be wrong to look for alternatives like "failure of function".

Bed confinement status


Explanation:
I have just seen "the other" question:

El senor Juan está siendo tratado por mí al presentar:
1. accidente cerebro vascular
2. Estado de postración en cama

In this context, estado de postración en cama is a diagnosis. As such, bed confinement status -as per ICD-10 (see my comment in Refs)- might be the most appropriate here:
CIE-10: Z74.01 Situación de confinamiento en cama. Postrado en cama.

Mr. Juan is being treated by me for:
- [ACV]
- Bed confinement status

Es interesante referirse al término “postración” y
sus derivados, tan habitualmente usados a todo
nivel.
los pacientes llamados “postrados” deben ese
apelativo a la posición viciosa de coxa y
genuflexión secundaria a retracción y
espasticidad del Miembro Inferior acompañada
de anteflexión progresiva del tronco.

Reference: [Bedridden/Bedbound/Bed confinement] status

Reference information:

Bedridden status
Bedbound (bed bound) status
Bed confinement status (ICE-10: Z74.01)


...

Bedbound/Bedridden condition haría alusión a aquella afección que condiciona una postración del paciente en cama. Bedbound/bedridden/bed confinement status, en cambio, haría referencia a la condición misma de encontrarse postrado en cama, esto es, al estado de postración. Bedbound/Bedridden, sin más (i.e. patient is bedbound; el paciente se encuentra postrado en cama), aludiría a la postración. La diferencia entre las dos últimas puede perfectamente obviarse, pudiendo resultar preferible una u otra en función de cómo se arme la frase completa.
