Randomized Controlled TrialEfficacy of early passive tilting in minimizing ICU-acquired weakness: A randomized controlled trial.
To investigate whether passive tilting added to a standardized rehabilitation therapy improved strength at Intensive Care Unit (ICU) discharge. ⋯ Passive tilting added to a standardized rehabilitation therapy did not improve muscle strength at ICU discharge in surgical patients even if a faster recovery with tilting is suggested.
