U.S., April 26 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06944431) titled 'Using Continuous Passive Motion to Prevent Ankle Problems in ICU Patients' on April 16.
Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if continuous passive motion (CPM) helps prevent ankle joint contracture and muscle loss in critically ill, mechanically ventilated ICU patients. It will also evaluate the feasibility and safety of implementing CPM in this population. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does CPM help preserve ankle dorsiflexion range of motion during immobilization in the ICU?
Can ultrasound measurements detect changes in tibialis anterior muscle condition in response to CPM?
Researchers will co...
