Early Mobilization

Early mobilization refers to starting movements, such as sitting up, standing, or walking, soon after a person’s illness, injury, or surgery. The goal is to help the body recover faster by preventing complications like blood clots, muscle weakness, or lung problems that can happen when someone stays in bed too long. It’s a carefully planned process that aims to safely restore movement and independence, improve breathing, circulation, and overall strength, ultimately supporting a quicker, safer recovery. Early mobilization is applied in hospitals for patients to regain their activity levels sooner.
