Summary

This trial compares a home-based exercise program, guided by a workbook and weekly phone calls, to supervised center-based rehabilitation for people recovering from a long ICU stay. The goal is to see if the home program can improve muscle strength, endurance, and daily function as effectively as supervised sessions. Participants are adults aged 18-65 who were on a ventilator for at least 7 days and discharged from the ICU 3-6 months prior.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a home-based exercise program guided by a workbook with weekly phone calls, compared to center-based supervised rehabilitation
What this could lead to
If effective, this could offer a convenient, low-cost way for ICU survivors to regain strength and function without frequent hospital visits.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial, and home-based programs may not be as effective as supervised sessions for all patients. Results may not apply to everyone.
