Effects of Mobilization Using a Powered Lower-limb Exoskeleton With Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation, Ventilator Weaning, Ventilator Dependent, Exoskeleton Device, Exercise Training
In brief
This study aims to evaluate the effects of powered lower-limb exoskeleton-assisted training on lower limb strength, respiratory parameters, 28-day ventilator-free days, and length of hospital stay in patients with prolonged mechanical ventilation admitted to a Respiratory Care Center. The goal is to provide clinical evidence for integrating rehabilitation and respiratory care in this patient population.
