Feasibility of Combining Functional Mobilisation with Resistance and Endurance Training for Mechanically Ventilated Patients in Intensive Care Unit Setting-A Pilot Study.

Intensive-care-acquired weakness resulting in functional impairment is common in critical care survivors. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of a combined early functional training with endurance and resistance training and its effect on the functional outcome. It is a pilot study performed in a 39-bed Medical and Surgical Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
