U.S., March 13 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06872697) titled 'Impact of Whole Body Vibration on Muscle Function and Respiratory Parameters in Intensive Care Patients' on Dec. 20, 2024.
Brief Summary: Immobility and mechanical ventilation in intensive care unit (ICU) patients lead to muscle weakness and loss, particularly in antigravity and respiratory muscles. Early physiotherapy interventions are crucial to prevent complications, reduce side effects, shorten intubation time, and lower patient costs. ICU physiotherapy includes chest physiotherapy, range of motion exercises, strengthening exercises, mobilization, positioning, and inspiratory/peripheral muscle training.
Muscle training plays a...
