Frequent repositioning is crucial for several reasons:
1. Preventing Pressure Ulcers: Children who remain in one position for too long are at risk of developing pressure ulcers. These sores can be painful and lead to infections. 2. Promoting Circulation: Repositioning helps improve blood flow, reducing the risk of circulation-related issues. 3. Enhancing Respiratory Function: Changing positions can help improve lung function and reduce the risk of respiratory complications. 4. Maintaining Muscle and Joint Integrity: Regular movement prevents stiffness and preserves muscle function and joint flexibility.
