About this study
Official title: 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.
Read the 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.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Open-Chain Leg ExerciseOther
Individuals in the open-chain group will progress through standard mobility progression.
Closed-Chain Leg ExerciseDevice
Also called Moveo Platform
Individuals in the closed-chain group will progress through standard mobility exercises with the addition of closed-chain leg exercises using the MOVEO platform.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Open-Chain Leg Exercise | Active comparator | Individuals in the open-chain group will progress through standard mobility progression. Receives: Other: Open-Chain Leg Exercise |
| Closed-Chain Leg Exercise | Experimental | Individuals in the closed-chain group will progress through standard mobility exercises with the addition of closed-chain leg exercises using the MOVEO platform. Receives: Device: Closed-Chain Leg Exercise |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Time to Ambulation
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.
Measured: Baseline, to day 45 if applicable
