Gentle limb exercises for stable patients in the neurology intensive care unit
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether gentle stretching and movement exercises for the arms and legs can affect heart rate and blood pressure in patients staying in a neurology intensive care unit. It may help understand how safe and beneficial these exercises are for stable patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
