Design outcomes

Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Intensive Care Unit Mobility Scale (IMS): For each patient, the level of activity on the designated study day will be evaluated using the IMS (a description of the scale will be attached in the data entry sheet). Even in cases where basic activities such as independent sitting are difficult, or in infants/toddlers with unstable gait, evaluation will still be conducted using the IMS; however, during analysis, these cases may be excluded or subjected to subgroup analyses depending on the number of such patients. If the patient performed in-bed exercises, information will be collected regarding the specific type of activity, including range of motion exercises, positioning, respiratory physiotherapy, developmental support, strength training, neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), or in-bed cycle ergometer training. In addition, information on the presence or absence of adverse events during rehabilitation will also be collected. Barriers to Rehabilitation: Barriers to the implementation of rehabilitation will be identified and recorded. | — |
