We hypothesized that discordant results may reflect treatment heterogeneity received by \"usual care\" comparator groups in PR studies.

The primary objective of the present study was to describe the usual-care PR received by critically ill patients enrolled in the Canadian multicentre Critical Care Cycling to Improve Lower Extremity Strength (CYCLE) pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) of PR.
