Prospective pilot study shows feasibility and safety of exercise in adults on ECMO, suggesting potential benefits for recovery.
A structured daily program that combines mobility, verticalization, and resistance exercises during ECMO was feasible and safe. More time in sessions was associated with better functional performance. Larger controlled studies are needed to determine effects on recovery and long-term outcomes.
