Immersive VR for improving upper limb function in critically ill ICU patients
This trial tests whether fully immersive virtual reality training added to standard ICU rehabilitation can help improve upper limb strength and coordination in adults with ICU-acquired weakness.
-
Tracking changes in physical strength for adults in the ICU
We will test whether changes in the Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assessment Tool (CPAx) score between ICU admission and discharge can predict outcomes like death and how long adults need mechanical ventilation.
-
Functional electrical stimulation plus physiotherapy for severe post-stroke ICU-acquired weakness
This pilot will try using functional electrical stimulation together with physiotherapy to help adults with recent severe stroke who developed ICU-acquired weakness regain strength and movement.
