Home exercise program for children recovering from intensive care
This study offers a home-based video exercise program for children who have recently left the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). It aims to help them regain strength and mobility after a hospital stay.

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 trial tests whether a structured “early mobility” activity plan (“PICU Up!”) helps children who are on a breathing machine recover or feel better while in the pediatric ICU. It aims to see if starting safe movement earlier makes a difference for critically ill kids.
This study tests whether teaching ICU patients and their families about recovery can help patients regain strength and function after leaving the hospital. Researchers will follow patients for several months after discharge to see if the education makes a difference in their recovery.
This trial tests a coach-supported, phone-based rehabilitation program that includes high-intensity interval-style exercise for people recovering from COVID-19 after a hospital stay. It may help improve breathing, strength, and walking by providing structured exercise at home.
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.
This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) glasses can help patients recover better after spending time in the intensive care unit. The VR program is designed to help regain strength, movement, and mental function during recovery.
