Association between out-of-bed mobilization and complications of immobility in acute phase of severe stroke: A retrospective observational study

Medical complications often occur, particularly in the acute phase of severe stroke, and lead to poor outcomes. However, it is unclear whether out-of-bed mobilization (OM) reduces such complications or not in the acute phase of severe stroke. Thus, we investigated the association between OM and complications of immobility in the acute phase of severe stroke.
