2020-2021 ISSR Project Title: Supporting Early Mobility in Acute/Critical Care Using Real-Time Feedback
The mobilization of patients during acute care hospitalization has been shown to have numerous clinical benefits. Unfortunately, many hospitalized patients spend too much time in bed, even when they are capable of sitting in a chair and/or walking. The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of a mobility program which includes patient education and real-time electronic mobility feedback.
