Prevención de úlceras por presión y lesiones musculoesqueléticas: paciente con ictusDOI: 10.4321/S1134-928X2012000100008 Keywords: nursing, physiotherapy, healthy posture, pressure ulcer (up), muscular and skeletal injuries, stroke. Abstract: we propose a case in which both a nurse and a physiotherapist analyse different procedures to improve the postural hygiene of bedridden patients with stroke and left hemiplegia. we describe analitically a joint intervention for a month. although the maximum risk of pressure ulcer (up) as mentioned before, has remained, ulcers have not appeared during that period, obtaining an increasing articulation range. multidisciplinary work is important to avoid the appearance of bedsores and future muscular and skeletal injuries that would hinder the future rehabilitation of the patient.
