“…The act of moving from one position to another is not always recognized as a mobility event. 3 This is exacerbated by a lack of established standards around mobility in the adult patient population, particularly in neurosurgical units, where the impact of mobility protocols, guidelines, or programs has not been widely studied. 4 In addition to high acuity levels, neurosurgical patients have unique needs that may impact participation in mobility activities, including neurological deficits such as spinal instability, tissue plasminogen activator administration, bed rest restrictions associated with endovascular intervention, increased intracranial pressure, hemodynamic instability, femoral sheaths, spine traction, continuous renal replacement therapy, and advanced modes of ventilation.…”
