What is mobility?



In the chronic respiratory patient mobilisation tends to refer to getting the person up and moving. By encouraging bigger breaths; it will help clear your chest by getting air down into the bases, whilst also helping keep muscles strong and increasing your exercise tolerance.

With regards to the more acutely ill patient, mobilisation is a term used to describe the regular alternating of position to prevent long stays in certain positions, this helps prevent development of pressure sores, whilst also allowing your lungs to take in greater volumes of oxygen.
