Comments:
The article has provided the relevant information on how the study can be used to inform all the occupational therapists on the benefits of mobilization and rehabilitation to patients. Rehabilitation increases mobility and muscle strength and therefore the patients can easily walk and get an early discharge. All the study interventions and limitations are mentioned except the threats and strengths. Generally the article is elaborate and demonstrates the clinical bottom-line on the benefits of mobilization and rehabilitation among patients in the ICU. 90 points
