Effect of a Cycling Exercise on Restoration of Muscle Strength in Patients Undergoing Mechanical Ventilation
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Cycling Exercise and Conventional Physiotherapy for Muscle Weakness and Mechanical Ventilation Complication. Completed, enrolled 120 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Prolonged critical illness renders survivors with increased long-term morbidity associated with high healthcare costs. Muscle weakness and fatigue are reported as the main contributors to long-term poor functional outcomes. Emerging evidence for early mobilisation demonstrates reduction in the number of ventilator days and hospital length of stay. It has been demonstrated that daytime motoring (passive and active) can improve functional capacity in intensive care patients. The aim of the proposed study is to evaluate the effect of cycling exercise in patients on mechanical ventilation appointed to weaning process.
