Summary of Contraindications for Physical Therapy21,a
a MAP=mean arterial pressure, Spo2=oxygen saturation, Fio2=fractional concentration of inspired oxygen, PEEP=positive end expiratory pressure, RASS=Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale, ICP=intracranial pressure.
Tables
Characteristics of the Study Sample at Admission to the ICU and M-ICU (T0) and Regular Hospital Wards (T1)a
↵a ICU=intensive care unit, M-ICU=medium intensive care unit, T0ICU=time of inclusion in the intensive care unit, T0M-ICU=time of inclusion in the M-ICU, T1=time after discharge from the intensive care unit or M-ICU at the regular hospital ward, N/A=not available, IQR=interquartile range, APACHE II=Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II, SOFA=Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment, DEMMI=de Morton Mobility Index, Katz ADL=Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living, MRS-SS=Medical Research Council sum-score, MRC=Medical Research Council scale for muscle strength as tested by manual muscle testing.
b MRC-SS scores missing for 4 participants (3.4%).
Clinimetric Properties of the DEMMI and Sensitivity to Change of the DEMMI at Each Assessmenta
↵a DEMMI=de Morton Mobility Index, T0=time of inclusion in either the intensive care unit (ICU) or the medium ICU (M-ICU), T1=time after discharge from the ICU or M-ICU at the regular hospital ward, SD=pooled standard deviation between raters, SEM=standard error of the measurement, MDC90=minimal detectable change at 90% level of confidence.
Clinimetric Properties of the DEMMI and Reproducibility of the DEMMI at Each Assessmenta
↵a ICC [1,1]=one-way random intraclass correlation coefficient, DEMMI=de Morton Mobility Index, T0=time of inclusion in either the intensive care unit (ICU) or the medium ICU (M-ICU), T1=time after discharge from the ICU or M-ICU at the regular hospital ward.
b Was not determined.
c Kappa (κ) values were reported for all items, except for polytomous items 3, 5, 11, and 12, for which weighted kappa (κw) values were reported.
d Could not be calculated due to low variances in scores.
Clinimetric Properties of the DEMMI and Validity of the DEMMI at Each Assessmenta
↵a DEMMI=de Morton Mobility Index, T0=time of inclusion in either the intensive care unit (ICU) or the medium ICU (M-ICU), T1=time after discharge from the ICU or M-ICU at the regular hospital ward, CI=confidence interval, Katz ADL=Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living, MMT=manual muscle testing, MRS-SS=Medical Research Council sum-score, APACHE II=Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II, ES=effect size, N/A=not available.
b Known-groups validity shown by eta-squared ES values, and P values were used to detect difference in ICU-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) score groups with the various measurements.
c Known-groups validity based on the MRC-SS groups: no weakness (48–60 points), significant weakness (36–47 points), severe weakness (<36 points).
d Post hoc analysis based on Mann-Whitney U scores with Bonferroni corrections; P values were reported.
