ICU recovery exercise test study
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial looks at how well your heart and lungs work together after a long stay in the ICU on a breathing machine. It uses a simple exercise test to check your recovery after leaving the hospital.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were in the intensive care unit (ICU) and needed a breathing machine (ventilator) for at least 7 days.
- You have been discharged from the hospital.
- You can understand and agree to take part in the study (provide consent).
- You are able to climb at least one flight of stairs without stopping because of limited exercise capacity.
- You do not have major health problems that would limit your ability to exercise, like severe heart or lung disease, or a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher.

This trial looks at how to improve muscle strength and function after a stay in the ICU for sepsis or acute respiratory failure. If you recover from the illness but your muscles become weak, this study may test an approach to help rebuild strength faster.
This trial tests whether brief “interval” bed-cycling changes how well your leg muscles use oxygen compared with steady cycling. It’s meant for carefully selected ICU patients who can safely do active cycling while on ventilator support.
This study looks at how to help older adults regain physical strength after a serious illness that required time in the ICU. It aims to find the best ways to help you recover daily activities like walking and moving around.
This study tests whether supervised remote rehabilitation exercises can help people recover better after a long ICU stay. Many patients struggle with weakness, memory problems, or mood changes after intensive care—this trial aims to improve those symptoms through video-guided therapy.
This study aims to find better ways to detect and track muscle weakness that can happen during an ICU stay. If you or your loved one is in the ICU, this research could help improve early diagnosis and care.
This trial tests a wearable device that uses mild electrical pulses to stimulate leg muscles, helping prevent muscle weakness in ICU patients with severe infections. It may help you recover strength faster and avoid long-term disability.
