Turning and Positioning: Vital Steps for Pressure Redistribution

Turning changes the load path across soft tissue, restoring perfusion to areas that were previously compressed.

Small-angle lateral turns, micro-shifts, and heel floating are often combined with surface therapy to address bony prominences systematically.

Document positioning goals, contraindications, and device routes so every shift change preserves both airway safety and offloading intent.
