maximal
total

Progressions of bed mobility
mobility in supine
supine <->sidelying
supine <-> sitting
Mobility in sitting
Hooklying in supine position
hips and knees flexed
component of bridging and rolling
Bridging in supine
lift hips and low back
assist w/ upper extremities to avoid pushing head into bed
component in scooting
where can clinician stabilize during bridging
feet
Scooting up in Bed
HoB flat if tolerated
Begin in hooklying
elbows out and back
push on elbows and feet, lift and shift hips up
Scooting sideways
lift and shift hips laterally
lift upper body in same direction
Equipment used in supine
bed rails
trapeze
Importance of rolling from supine to sidelying
prevention of pressure injuries
