Use of a body-weight support device to train gait in a neurological intensive care unit. Safety, Feasibility, Time to independent walking. Abstract Background Early Mobilization in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) enhances patients’ evolution, but its benefits and practical implementation have rarely been studied in neurological ICUs. To report on tolerance, feasibility and benefits of walking with a specific body-weight support (BWS) device for patients admitted to a neurological intensive care unit. Methods Observational single-center one-year study. Inclusion criteria were adults with a neurological injury requiring mechanical ventilation. Exclusion criteria were early death or ICU transfer. After weaning from ventilation, patients were screened for indications of BWS walking using predefined criteria.
