Prolonged immobilization of patients results in functional decline, increases the risk of hospital acquired infections and length of stay. It is important to ensure our patients to be able to ambulate more frequently more frequently to stay physically active. This can help them to improve functional outcomes and recovery, reduce rate of complications related to immobilization, lower cost of care, and improve patient satisfaction and engagement in care.
