Category:Positioning

This category includes all pages on positioning.

Positioning is a key aspect of patient care. Optimum positioning is a good starting point to maximise the benefit of other interventions, such as bed exercises and breathing exercises; it can also assist rest and mobility, thereby facilitating recovery and enhancing function. However, although it is important, it must not be seen in isolation and is just one aspect of patient management where the overall goal is to optimise independence.
