BackgroundAlthough most patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) experience difficulties in bed mobility, evidence on the suitability of the methods for assessing impaired bed mobility in PD are lacking.ObjectivesTo identify objective methods for assessing impaired bed mobility in PD and to discuss their clinimetric properties and feasibility for use in clinical practice.Data sourcesPubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were searched between 1995 and 2022.Selection criteriaStudies were included if they described an objective assessment method for assessing impaired bed mobility in PD.Data extraction and data synthesisCharacteristics of the identified measurement methods such as clinimetric properties and feasibility were extracted by two authors. The methodological quality of studies was evaluated using the Appraisal of studies tool.ResultsTwenty-three studies were included and categorised into three assessment methods: sensor-based assessments (48%), rating scales (39%), and timed-tests (13%). The risk of bias was low for all but one study, which was medium.LimitationsDespite applying wide selection criteria, a relatively small number of studies were identified in our results.ConclusionRating scales may be the most preferred for assessing impaired bed mobility in PD in clinical practice, until clinimetric validity are adequately demonstrated in the other assessment methods.
