Early Stepping Verticalization in ICU for ABI Patients

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Verticalization was reported to improve the level of arousal and awareness in patients with severe acquired brain injury (ABI) and to be safe in ICU. The investigators evaluated the effectiveness of a very early stepping verticalization protocol on the functional and neurological outcome of patients affected by disorder of consciousness due to ABI.

Consecutive patients with Vegetative State or Minimally Conscious State were enrolled in ICU on the third day after an ABI. They were randomized to undergo conventional physiotherapy alone or associated to fifteen 30-minute sessions of verticalization, using a tilt table with robotic stepping device. Once stabilized, patients were transferred to a Neurorehabilitation unit for an individualized treatment. Outcome measures were assessed on the third day from the injury (T0), at ICU discharge (T1) and at Rehab discharge (T2).
