Helping ICU patients move early with technology
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests a technology-assisted program to help patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) start moving earlier while on a breathing machine. It aims to improve recovery and reduce complications from being in bed for too long.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been on a breathing machine (ventilator) for at least 24 hours.
- You are calm and able to follow simple instructions (sedation level 0 to -1).
- You can see, hear, and move your body without restrictions.
- You are awake and can communicate in Chinese.
- You are expected to stay in the ICU for more than 4 days.

This study tests whether starting physical therapy and movement early is safe and possible for patients in the intensive care unit. It aims to improve recovery for people who are stable enough to participate.
This study tests whether adding a special exercise method, called blood-flow restriction training, to standard rehab can help people who are weak after being on a ventilator. It tries to make muscles stronger and speed up recovery.
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 tests an AI-powered nursing tool that helps ICU staff prevent delirium (sudden confusion) in patients. If you are at high risk for delirium, the tool may help keep you more comfortable and reduce the chance of confusion during your ICU stay.
This study tests a rehabilitation program for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who have been on a ventilator for at least 2 days. The goal is to help them regain strength and mobility as they recover and leave the hospital.
This study tests whether starting gentle movement and touch earlier helps patients on breathing machines in the intensive care unit recover better. It may help you regain strength and feel more comfortable while in the hospital.
