Early mobilization has been demonstrated to be both safe and feasible for patients admitted to critical care.

Arjo is proud to introduce the Veterans Mobility Gallery, an initiative that reflects our commitment to supporting the Veterans Affairs Administration.

Arjo MOVE program has a proven track record of positively impacting clinical, operational and financial outcomes at healthcare facilities across the US. Our programs create a momentum for change, empowering you to sustain the results long after the end of the program.

Incorporating sensory features into the daily routines of individuals living with dementia can significantly enhance their well-being, especially during potentially stressful situations. For those with dementia, the progression of the disease can often disrupt the normal sensory processing and the ability to make sense of the environment, leading to confusion, anxiety, and a decreased ability to manage daily tasks independently.

Early mobilization of ICU patients has been associated with improved muscle strength and functional independence, as well as a shorter duration of delirium, mechanical ventilation, and ICU length of stay.

The significance of early mobility in the rehabilitation of war veterans cannot be overstated. In fact, muscle wasting occurs early and rapidly during the first week of critical illness, with losses of up to 20% seen for those in multi organ failure.

In the pursuit of optimizing the rehabilitation journey for our esteemed veterans, the Veterans Administration (VA) has developed the Mobility Screening and Solutions Tool. This tool aims to enhance early mobilization and improve the functional outcomes of veterans.

Intensive care unit (ICU) patients frequently have extreme derangement of physiological function.

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.

Today, we welcome Ali Qureshi, OTR, MOT, Arjo Clinical Consultant and Occupational Therapist, to discuss Arjo’s newest safe patient handling and mobility aid, the AirPal® lateral transfer and repositioning system.

Healthcare settings face the challenge of managing an effective Infection Control protocol on a daily basis. Ensuring the safety of patients and staff at all times, in a range of different settings requires a robust process, where care and treatment

Kern Medical Center (“Kern Medical”), owned and operated by the Kern County Hospital Authority, is an acute care teaching center with 222 beds offering the only advanced trauma care between Fresno and Los Angeles, California.

Arjo is committed to improving the everyday lives of people affected by reduced mobility and age-related health challenges. In honor of DVT Awareness Month (March), we support efforts to raise awareness of the potentially devastating impact of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism, collectively known as venous thromboembolism (VTE).

Partnering with Arjo’s expert service team provides peace of mind towards ensuring equipment meets FDA compliance standards, while experiencing cost savings and safeguarding patient quality care.
