Engelbert, Juultje Sommers, Marike van der Schaaf, Steps to recovery: Body weight-supported treadmill training for critically ill patients: A randomized controlled trial, Journal of Critical Care,Volume 69, 2022,154000, ISSN 0883-9441, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcrc.2022.154000 Abstract Purpose Early mobilization of critically ill patients improves functional recovery, but is often hampered by tubes, drains, monitoring devices and muscular weakness. A mobile treadmill with bodyweight support facilitates early mobilization and may shorten recovery time to independent ambulation as compared to usual care physiotherapy alone. Materials and methods Single center RCT, comparing daily bodyweight supported treadmill training (BWSTT) with usual care physiotherapy, in patients who had been or were mechanically ventilated (≥48 h) with ≥MRC grade 2 quadriceps muscle strength. BWSTT consisted of daily treadmill training in addition to usual care physiotherapy (PT). Primary outcome was time to independent ambulation measured in days, using the Functional Ambulation Categories (FAC-score: 3). Secondary outcomes included hospital length of stay and serious adverse events.
