Abstract
Damage to the central nervous system leads to the loss of motor control, loss of consciousness, sensory, cognitive and
perceptive dysfunction. Patients are immobile in the early phase of recovery, therefore therapeutic approach demands
appropriate methods of patient positioning in bed. The positioning has to ensure conditions that will stimulate and promote
functional rehabilitation and prevent complications of immobility. The positioning has to rely on functional assessment of
the patient problem, while it should also be therapeutic and individually adjusted to the patient needs. In the methods of
positioning an immobile patient, all medical team members take part, especially nurses, physical therapists and occupational
therapists. Results of positioning are better if mobilization and integration of the abilities regained by the patient are included.
