A 68-year-old man is admitted with community-acquired pneumonia and is expected to have reduced mobility for several days. He has no history of venous thromboembolism, no active bleeding, and no planned surgery. He refuses injections for personal reasons.

Which non-pharmacologic measure is most appropriate to reduce his risk of hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism?
