Benefits of Early Mobilisation
Early mobilisation as soon as medically safe during a recovery from critical illness has been shown to improve long term outcomes for the patient, decrease repositioning needs, expedite discharge and reduce re-admissions.
Seating Matters chairs have been clinically designed to help aid early mobilisation and reduce the need for time spent in bed.
Preserves Muscle Strength
Bed rest results in 12% loss of muscle strength each week, intensifying to 50% loss after 3-5 weeks. Encouraging the patient to sit in a chair as early as possible into their treatment can be a key factor to preserve muscle strength.
Increased Independance and Improved Health
Early mobilisation using the correct chair that fully supports a patient’s posture and meets his or her clinical needs can contribute to their overall health and wellbeing.
Psychological Wellbeing
Providing a patient with the ability to sit out of bed can have overwhelming benefits on the patient’s psychological wellbeing, their dignity and confidence.
Speed of recovery
As a result of their improved psychological well-being, they will start to feel better mentally and be more motivated to interact with staff members, family and other patients. The impact on speed of recovery can be life changing.
Reducing Healthcare Costs
If a person remains in bed, their mobilization can be delayed. This can lead to many secondary complications including pressure injuries and an increased length of stay.
