Evidence quality of studies was assessed.Results: Six high-quality studies met the inclusion criteria. There was a statistically significant effect in the between-group analysis on hospital length of stay, PICU length of stay and mechanical ventilation days.Conclusions: This systematic review and meta-analysis support implementing EM in PICUs to reduce hospital and PICU length of stay, and mechanical ventilation days. This evidence can inform wider adoption of physical therapy-directed EM in PICUs to benefit infants and improve quality healthcare.","PeriodicalId":49006,"journal":{"name":"Pediatric Physical Therapy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144765700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
