Abstract
(Im)“mobility” (the lack of ability to change and control body position) and (in)“activity” (the limited degree of physical activity) were the major risk factors assessed by Braden Scale for pressure ulcer development during the length of inpatient stay. Thus, the greatest efforts in managing pressure ulcer risk should be on “mobility” and “activity”, independently of the total Braden Scale score.
