Passive head-up tilt positioning as an early mobilization strategy in neurocritical care: a prospective-retrospective controlled study
Passive head-up tilt positioning is a safe, feasible early mobilization strategy in neurocritical care. It improves neurological recovery, reduces complications, and supports long-term functional outcomes. These findings support the incorporation of passive verticalization into early rehabilitation protocols for patients unable to engage in active mobilization.
