Intensive-Care-Unit-Acquired Weakness (ICU-AW) is a common neuromuscular impairment in critically ill patients, and early rehabilitation can facilitate the recovery process. This study evaluated the effectiveness of intensive combined technological rehabilitation treatment for patients with severe acquired brain injury (sABI) and ICU-AW. The experimental group, receiving technological treatment, showed greater improvements in disability and quality of life compared to the conventional group. This highlights the effectiveness of intensive structured rehabilitation with virtual reality and muscle vibration for improving the well-being of patients with severe acquired brain injury and acquired weakness.
Intensive-Care-Unit-Acquired Weakness (ICU-AW) is the most common neuromuscular impairment in critically ill patients and can have a significant impact on long-term disability. Early rehabilitation has been suggested to facilitate the natural recovery process. This is a pilot, randomized, single-blind study that aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of intensive combined technological rehabilitation treatment including focal muscle vibration and non-immersive virtual reality for patients with severe acquired brain injury (sABI) and ICU-AW. Twenty-four patients were randomized into the conventional group, which performed only conventional rehabilitation, and the experimental group, which also performed technological treatment. At baseline and after 3 weeks of treatment, assessments of motor function, autonomy, disability and quality of life were conducted. At the end of the intervention, both groups showed significant improvements. However, patients in the experimental group achieved greater improvements in disability (p = 0.001) and quality of life (p = 0.001). The results show that intensive structured rehabilitation is effective in improving the motor function, disability and quality of life of patients with severe acquired brain injury and acquired weakness. The combination of non-immersive virtual reality training and focal muscle vibration can result in a significant improvement in overall disability and quality of life compared with conventional treatment alone.
