Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: =18 years expected mechanical ventilation for >72 hours on a interdisciplinary intensive care unit qualitatively independent before illness

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: contraindication for bedside ergometer MOTOmed weight > 150kg preexisting neuromuscular / neurological disease with enduring functional limitations former hospital stay of more than 10 days limited therapy because of expected poor outcome inclusion in other intervention study admission diagnosis that makes a walking test at hospital discharge impossible

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The functional exercise capacity using the 6 Minute Walking Test The independence during activities of daily living measured with the Functional Independence Measure. Both assessments are evaluated at the time of hospital discharge.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Muscle Force (precondition: patient follows 3 of 5 commands) - Medical Research Council sum score (MRC) for 6 muscle groups - handgrip force using the JAMAR Dynamometer - quantitiv muscle force of the Quadriceps using a Hand Held Dynamometer Tests from day 7 (follow-up every 14 days) and at ICU discharge. Joint mobility, Range of motion using a Goniometer and the Neutral-0-Method. Tests from day 7 and at ICU discharge. Functional exercise capacity using the Timed-Up-And-Go Test at hospital discharge. Length of stay in the ICU and hospital, achieved milestones during the ICU. Quality of live, using the Short Form36, 6 months after hospital discharge.
