These changes are a natural part of dementia, and comprehending them is crucial for providing effective, person-centered care and purposeful mobility based upon the individual’s optimal level of function.

Patient mobilization is not just a clinical priority, but a financial one. Compromised mobility is a widely recognized risk factor for a number of Hospital-Acquired Conditions (HACs).

Reduced mobility is a significant risk factor for pressure injury development, international guidelines emphasise the need for regular turning and repositioning of patients to help prevent skin damage¹. While a pressure redistribution mattress may enable the repositioning regimen to be individualised, regular postural change is still important but not without risk to the patient or caregiver.
