Functional Assessment in ICU Patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study observes how well adults in the intensive care unit (ICU) can function in daily activities, like moving and caring for themselves. It aims to understand recovery and may help improve care for future ICU patients.
