Leg Exercise During ECMO (ECMO)

February 3, 2021 updated by: University of Minnesota

The Impact of Lower Extremity Weight-Bearing Leg Exercise During the Pre-Ambulation Phase of Individuals Undergoing Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are at high risk for deconditioning and functional decline. The primary aim of this study is to assess the functional impact of leg exercise during the pre-ambulation phase in patients undergoing ECMO.

Detailed Description

The investigators are conducting this study to explore the impact of closed-chain leg exercise in individuals undergoing ECMO.

Aim 1: To determine if closed-chain leg exercise decreases the time to initial ambulation. The investgators hypothesize that adding leg exercise will decrease time to ambulation.

Aim 2: To determine the impact of closed chain leg exercise on functional ability. The investigators hypothesize that adding leg exercise will improve functional outcomes when added to an existing early mobilization program.

Aim 3: To determine the effect of closed chain leg exercise on hospital outcomes. The investigators hypothesize that hospital related outcomes will improve when leg exercise is added to an existing early mobilization program.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Time to Ambulation
Time Frame: Baseline, to day 45 if applicable
Time to ambulation is measured as the number of days required for the participant to regain the ability to walk without the need for any kind of assistance. The unit of measure is days.
Baseline, to day 45 if applicable
