...interventions, including mobilisation [10–12,38–40], but different from the findings of a trial that examined whole body rehabilitation with sedation interruption, and reported more ventilator-free days in the intervention group, compared with the standard group, in which no physiotherapy was routinely provided for the first two weeks of ICU stay [41]....

...Physical function was assessed in three ways: (i) The six-minute walk (6MW) distance based on the established 6MW test was used to assess exercise capacity [31], (ii) The Medical Research Council Sum-Score (MRC-SS) that assessed muscle strength in six muscle groups bilaterally, with score ranging from 0 (paralysis) to 60 (normal strength) [32], with a score less than 48 consistent with ICU acquired weakness [33] and (iii) the modified Barthel Index (MBI) assessed individual’s functional independence in 10 activities of daily living, with scores ranging from 0 (totally dependent) to 100 (completely independent) [34]....
