Patient Mobility

Patient mobility refers to a patient’s ability to move and change positions independently or with assistance. It's a crucial aspect of healthcare, affecting a patient's recovery and overall well-being. Good mobility can help prevent complications like bedsores and blood clots, enhance circulation, and improve mental health. Healthcare providers often assess and promote mobility by encouraging patients to walk, shift positions, or use assistive devices when necessary. This ensures patients maintain their strength and independence, facilitating a smoother recovery process.
