Thus, identifying physical rehabilitation programs for bedridden patients with prolonged immobility is a matter of urgent research for a solution that will help health professionals and stakeholders to develop more adjusted programs and identify possible gaps. To date, no previous scoping reviews addressing this purpose have been found. This scoping review will be guided by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology, will focus on physical rehabilitation programs for bedridden patients with prolonged immobility and aims to map the programs, the devices used, and the parameters assessed. A relevant set of electronic databases and grey literature will be searched. Data extraction will be conducted using a tool developed by the research team that will address the review objectives and questions. Data synthesis will be presented in tabular form and a narrative summary aligned with the review\u2019s objective. This scoping review will contribute to the improvement of clinical practice, identifying key challenges that might justify the need to develop new programs suitable in clinical and organizational contexts.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph182212033","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,16]],"date-time":"2021-11-16T11:32:03Z","timestamp":1637062323000},"page":"12033","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Rehabilitation Programs for Bedridden Patients with Prolonged Immobility: A Scoping Review Protocol"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0050-5004","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vitor","family":"Parola","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Health Sciences Research Unit: Nursing (UICISA: E), Nursing School of Coimbra (ESEnfC), 3000 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"Portugal Centre for Evidence Based Practice: A JBI Centre of Excellence (PCEBP\/JBI), 3000 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6843-6228","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hugo","family":"Neves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Health Sciences Research Unit: Nursing (UICISA: E), Nursing School of Coimbra (ESEnfC), 3000 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"Portugal Centre for Evidence Based Practice: A JBI Centre of Excellence (PCEBP\/JBI), 3000 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0534-5812","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Filipa Margarida","family":"Duque","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Health Sciences Research Unit: Nursing (UICISA: E), Nursing School of Coimbra (ESEnfC), 3000 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2110-7483","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rafael A.","family":"Bernardes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Health Sciences Research Unit: Nursing (UICISA: E), Nursing School of Coimbra (ESEnfC), 3000 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4610-2697","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Remy","family":"Cardoso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Health Sciences Research Unit: Nursing (UICISA: E), Nursing School of Coimbra (ESEnfC), 3000 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Carla A.","family":"Mendes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Health Sciences Research Unit: Nursing (UICISA: E), Nursing School of Coimbra (ESEnfC), 3000 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8914-6975","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Liliana B.","family":"Sousa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Health Sciences Research Unit: Nursing (UICISA: E), Nursing School of Coimbra (ESEnfC), 3000 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0761-6548","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paulo","family":"Santos-Costa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Health Sciences Research Unit: Nursing (UICISA: E), Nursing School of Coimbra (ESEnfC), 3000 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0012-4380","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"C\u00e2ndida","family":"Mal\u00e7a","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mechanical Engineering Department, Institute of Engineering (ISEC), Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra (IPC), 3030 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"given":"R\u00faben","family":"Dur\u00e3es","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ORTHOS XXI, 4809 Guimar\u00e3es, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3880-6590","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pedro","family":"Parreira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Health Sciences Research Unit: Nursing (UICISA: E), Nursing School of Coimbra (ESEnfC), 3000 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3050-4264","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jo\u00e3o","family":"Ap\u00f3stolo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Health Sciences Research Unit: Nursing (UICISA: E), Nursing School of Coimbra (ESEnfC), 3000 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"Portugal Centre for Evidence Based Practice: A JBI Centre of Excellence (PCEBP\/JBI), 3000 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3254-3176","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Arm\u00e9nio","family":"Cruz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Health Sciences Research Unit: Nursing (UICISA: E), Nursing School of Coimbra (ESEnfC), 3000 Coimbra, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"361","DOI":"10.1007\/s40430-021-03073-7","article-title":"Development of a flexible rehabilitation system for bedridden patients","volume":"43","author":"Campos","year":"2021","journal-title":"J.
