Remote Exercise Program for Pediatric ICU Survivors

28 luglio 2026 aggiornato da: Sung Eun Hyun, Seoul National University Hospital

Feasibility Study of a Remote Exercise Intervention Program for Preventing Post-Intensive Care Syndrome in Pediatric Critical Illness Survivors

This pilot clinical trial aims to evaluate the feasibility and safety of a remote exercise intervention program designed to prevent pediatric post-intensive care syndrome (PICS-p) in children discharged from the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Children aged 3 to 18 years who received intensive care for at least 48 hours and have not recovered to their pre-admission functional status will participate in an individualized home-based exercise program for 12 weeks. The intervention includes remotely supervised exercise sessions, prescribed self-exercise, and weekly monitoring using videoconferencing. Study assessments will be performed at baseline, immediately before intervention initiation, monthly during the 12-week intervention, and 1 month after completion of the intervention to evaluate feasibility, safety, functional recovery, and maintenance of treatment effects.

Descrizione dettagliata

Pediatric survivors of critical illness are at risk of developing pediatric post-intensive care syndrome (PICS-p), which includes physical, cognitive, emotional, and social impairments that may persist after discharge from the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Although early rehabilitation is recognized as an important strategy for improving recovery, sustained rehabilitation after hospital discharge remains challenging because of barriers such as repeated hospital visits and limited accessibility.

The purpose of this single-arm pilot clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of a remote exercise intervention program for children at risk of PICS-p after PICU discharge and to generate preliminary data for a future confirmatory clinical trial.

Eligible participants are children aged 3 to 18 years who received treatment in the PICU for at least 48 hours and have not recovered to their pre-admission functional status. Participants will receive an individualized home-based exercise program consisting of remotely supervised exercise sessions, prescribed self-exercise using instructional video content, and weekly monitoring and feedback through videoconferencing.

The intervention will be delivered over 12 weeks. Outcome assessments will be conducted after PICU discharge (baseline), immediately before intervention initiation, monthly during the intervention, and 1 month after completion of the intervention to evaluate maintenance of treatment effects.

The primary outcomes include feasibility and safety, including adherence, completion rate, user satisfaction, adverse events, and reasons for discontinuation. Secondary outcomes include exploratory changes in physical function, respiratory function, balance, gait speed, muscle strength, motor performance, physical activity, activities of daily living, disability, quality of life, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. The findings will be used to optimize the intervention protocol and support the design of a future confirmatory clinical trial.

Cosa sta misurando lo studio?

Misure di risultato primarie

Misura del risultato
Misura Descrizione
Lasso di tempo
Exercise Adherence Rate
Lasso di tempo: Baseline through Week 12
Exercise adherence rate will be calculated as the percentage of prescribed exercise sessions completed by each participant during the 12-week remote exercise intervention.
Baseline through Week 12
Exercise Completion Rate
Lasso di tempo: At Week 12
Exercise completion rate will be calculated as the percentage of participants who complete the 12-week remote exercise intervention as specified in the study protocol.
At Week 12
Participant Satisfaction Score
Lasso di tempo: Pre-intervention and at Months 1, 2, 3, and 4
Participant satisfaction with the remote exercise intervention will be assessed using a study-specific satisfaction questionnaire at pre-intervention and at Months 1, 2, 3, and 4. Total scores range from 6 to 30, with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction.
