Abstract: Mastery of basic securing, moving, and positioning skills is driven by current challenges in healthcare and rehabilitation, including the growing number of patients with injuries and illnesses, patient safety, physical therapy effectiveness, professional training, and innovations in physical therapy. Purpose: To form a holistic view of the physical therapy methodology aimed at using aids to master the skills of moving, securing and positioning patients. Materials and Methods. A bibliosystematic review of scientific information sources was carried out using Internet search databases. The methods of the study were content analysis, structural and logical analysis. Results. Mastering the basic skills of insurance, movement and positioning is an integral part of physical therapy, which is critical for the recovery of patients after injuries, surgeries or congenital defects of the musculoskeletal system. These skills not only ensure safety during therapeutic procedures, but also contribute to the effectiveness of rehabilitation, making it easier for patients to adapt to new living conditions. Successful implementation of these skills training requires an individual approach, taking into account the patient’s physical condition, psychological characteristics and motivation. Thus, the development of insurance, movement, and positioning skills becomes a key step in providing quality physical therapy, which leads to an improvement in the quality of life of patients and their independence. Positioning is one of the most important elements of successful physical therapy. Correct body positioning during rehabilitation not only helps to achieve effective results, but also prevents possible complications such as pain, contractures, or skin damage. Mastering the skills of insurance, movement and positioning is a critical element of physical therapy, which significantly increases the quality of recovery and improves patient independence. Conclusions. It has been established that the correct choice and use of mobility aids, such as canes and crutches, not only ensures the patient's safety during rehabilitation, but also prevents possible complications.
