5. Study Description

Brief Summary
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.
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.
