Exercise-based rehabilitation after hospital discharge for survivors of critical illness with intensive care unit–acquired weakness: A pilot feasibility trial
Exercise rehabilitation after hospital stay for survivors with muscle weakness from intensive care: A pilot trial
AI simplified
Abstract
High adherence and patient acceptability were observed in a pilot trial of a 16-session exercise-based rehabilitation program for patients with ICU-acquired weakness.
- Feasibility of the exercise program was demonstrated but was limited by low enrollment rates among screened patients.
- No adverse events were reported during the rehabilitation sessions.
- The study was underpowered to detect the effectiveness of the intervention due to the small sample size.
- The use of manual muscle testing for diagnosing ICU-acquired weakness was insufficiently robust for determining rehabilitation needs.
- Methodological factors impacting the trial were categorized into four areas: population, intervention, control group, and outcome.
