Extended Physiotherapy After Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Stay

At admission to the surgical ward after ICU care, participants received an individual rehabilitation plan developed in collaboration with the participants and the ward-based physiotherapist. The rehabilitation plan included specified exercises for 1- 2 sessions of approximately 30 minutes a day. For example breathing exercises, practicing transfer in and out of bed and from sitting to standing, stairclimbing, and walking with or without walking aids.
