Bed mobility is a fundamental skill that supports comfort, independence, and safe caregiving. Individuals recovering from illness, injury, or stroke may require assistance with moving and repositioning in bed to prevent discomfort, reduce the risk of pressure injuries, and prepare for transfers. 

This page provides step-by-step video demonstrations on essential bed mobility techniques, including moving up in bed, repositioning, turning, sitting up, and lying down. Guidance is also provided on the use of slide sheets, one- and two-person assisting techniques, and proper bed positioning following a stroke. Emphasis is placed on safe handling, effective communication, and appropriate body mechanics to protect both caregivers and care recipients while promoting participation and comfort during daily care activities.
