Summary

Patients in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) are at great risk of muscle atrophy and neuromuscular complications, that could lead to respiratory complications, decreased physical functioning and deteriorated health related quality of life. The objective is to investigate if extended physical therapy in a general ward could lead to increased physical functioning for post-ICU patients.The study hypothesis is that extended physical therapy would lead to increased physical function at hospital discharge compared to standard amount of physical therapy.
