Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Feasibility will be assessed using Bowen framework. Acceptability will be assessed using Theoretical framework of acceptability scale on 5-point Likert scale. Usability will be assessed using System usability scale on 5-point Likert scale . Timepoint: On the day of shift from HDU To wards

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Muscle Strength will be assessed using Medical Research Council (MRC) sum score. It consists of grade 0 to 5. Mobility will be assessed using John Hopkins Highest Level of Mobility scale. It has 8 Levels. ICU Delirium will be assessed using The Confusion Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU). It is a 4 item scale Physical function will be assessed using Physical function ICU test scored (PFIT-s). It has 4 components. Timepoint: Beginning of the study, before and after each session of intervention, and on the day of shift from HDU to wards
