Progressive Mobilization With Dose Control and Training Load in in Critically Ill Patients

Critically Ill Clinical Trial

Official title: Effects of the Addition of a Protocol of Progressive Mobilization With Dose Control and Training Load in in Critically Ill Patients: Randomized Controlled Trial

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Immobilization and bed rest of patients in intensive care units (ICU) increases their risk for muscle dysfunction and prolonged mechanical ventilation, leading to physical deconditioning and loss of functionality. Active mobilization is a therapeutic strategy that typically involves exercises in which the patient uses his or her own strength and muscular control, is a feasible, safe, and low-cost intervention to improve muscle dysfunction and disability in patients at the ICU. Despite scientific advances, the current description and prescriptions of exercises at the ICU remain incomplete with respect to the control and the description of the variables of training load (volume and intensity), programming, and progression.
