[Descriptive analytical study on patient mobilization of the Internal Medicine Department of the USL - IRCCS of Reggio Emilia (MOBINT)].

Introduction: Hospitalisation represents a significant risk factor for the decline in the general conditions of the elderly. Loss of autonomy in elderly inpatients, together with immobilisation, has been defined as 'Hospital-Acquired Disability' and affects 65% of this class of patients. Less than half of them will regain independent mobilisation.
