In ICU early mobilisation and rehabilitation are considered vital to restore function and may reduce the duration of ICU and inpatient stay. However, for patients to participate in mobility practice or bed exercises, they must be conscious. Passive movements could be considered as a very early form of mobilisation for intensive care patients who are sedated and ventilated and are widely used by United Kingdom physiotherapists.
