AB Bed  mobility  is  a  basic  skill  that  promotes  independence  and  allows  for  self-care  activities.  Whether  treating  a  patient  with  neurologic  involvement,  a  patient  who  is  elderly  or  debilitated,  or  a  person  with  acute  low  back  pain,  impaired  bed  mobility  can  be  a  challenge  for  the  patient,  as  well  as  family  and  health-care  providers.  Interventions  focus  on  facilitating  the  most  efficient  and  pain-free  skills  for  moving  in  bed  to  accomplish  activities  such  as  rolling,  personal  hygiene,  dressing,  and  coming  to  sitting  in  preparation  for  transfers  or  transition  to  standing.  This  chapter  presents  methods  for  examining  and  evaluating  the  key  components  required  for  bed  mobility,  as  well  as  activities,  techniques,  and  exercises  that  can  promote  improved  efficiency  and  independence.
