A baseline assessment of functional ability is important and can assist in setting appropriate goals for the hospitalized individual. Physical therapy is important in developing an individualized plan of exercises and functional mobility program. Progressive mobility interventions range from passive range of motion to safe transfers and ambulation and are important in maintaining function. Encouraging self-care activities rather than "doing for" is also important.
