Brief 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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Length of ICU stay in days

    Time in days, from baseline to discharge from ICU

    at 28 days or discharge from ICU whichever occurs earlier

Secondary Outcomes (12)

  • Muscle mass

    Change from baseline at 28th day

  • Change in muscle strength

    Baseline and after 3 and at 7 day intervals up to 28th day or discharge from ICU

  • Physical activity: total activity

    At 28 days or discharge from hospital

  • Activity and participation

    Change from baseline up to 1 year post discharge

  • Mortality

    At 28 days or discharge from hospital and at 12 months

  • +7 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Experimental: Mobilization

EXPERIMENTAL

These patients will receive standard rehabilitation delivered by non-study physiotherapist. In addition, the patients will undergo a protocol of progressive mobilization with individualized dose control and training load stratified according to functional levels and performance.

Other: Progressive mobilization

Control: Usual care

SHAM COMPARATOR

These patients will receive standard rehabilitation delivered by non-study physiotherapist.

Other: Usual Care

Interventions

Will be applied once a day, 5x/ week, performed into 4 levels: N1 (bridge and rolling for both sides); N2 (transfer training from lying down to sitting on both sides); N3 (sit and stand up from a chair); N4 (running training). According to their functional level, patients will perform, once a day, 8 sets of each movement, alternating 20 seconds of execution with 10 seconds of rest. Patients will be stimulated constantly to perform the movements with the highest possible speed. If the patient performs adequately within of your level functional level, can will progress in level, if can not progress, there will be an increase in training volume within the level itself. Adequate performance within the functional level means that the patient is able to complete more than eight sets of exercise and does not present increased sensation of pain, present sensation of perceived exertion within the safety limit of the protocol (Borg ≤ 6).

Experimental: Mobilization

This group will receive standard usual, which will be monitored, but not protocolised.

Control: Usual care
