“Effectiveness of automated systems for postural changes and early mobilization in bedridden patients: Protocol for a systematic review”
This protocol follows PRISMA-P guidelines. Studies will be identified through systematic searches in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Library. Inclusion criteria: clinical studies evaluating automated systems for bedridden patients. Two reviewers will independently extract data using a standardized form. The quality and risk of bias will be assessed using appropriate tools (e.g., ROBINS-I or RoB 2). A narrative synthesis or meta-analysis will be performed based on data availability and homogeneity. The results of this review will inform best practices in the use of rehabilitation technologies for immobile patients.
