It is associated with difficult weaning from the ventilator, prolonged ICU stay, increased mortality, and other important long-term outcomes. Early mobilization is defined as any active exercise in which patients use their muscle strength actively or passively within the first 2 to 5 days of critical illness. Early mobilization can be safely initiated from the first day of admission to the ICU during mechanical ventilation.</p><p><strong>Objectives: </strong>The purpose of this review is to describe the effects of early mobilization on complications from ICUAW.</p><p><strong>Method: </strong>This was a literature review.
