Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary objective is to investigate the effect of BWSTT in critically ill patients on time to functional ambulation | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary objectives of this study are to investigate the effects on other patient relevant outcome measures for the evaluation of BWSTT. These outcomes are walking capacity, walking distance, muscle strength, ICU acquired weakness, symptoms of post-traumatic stress, experienced exertion after physiotherapy (PT) intervention, training intensity (i.e. respiratory frequency, heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen saturation) of PT interventions, status of functional independency, functional ambulation, duration of mechanical ventilation, (Serious) Adverse Events), number of staff needed, time spent on intervention and patient satisfaction. | — |
