Description
Summary:Early mobilization (EM) is a regimen that was carried out by physiotherapists in a relatively early stage. It has been investigated by an increasing number of researchers.

The present systematic review aims to evaluate the effect of EM compared with immobilization for mechanically ventilated patients.
