The Physical Function ICU Test (PFIT) is a clinical tool developed to assess physical function in critically ill patients within the ICU. Its objective is to evaluate patients’ strength, endurance, and mobility to guide physical rehabilitation and predict functional outcomes post-ICU.[1]

2018年6月7日 · A physical function test for use in the intensive care unit: Validity, responsiveness, and predictive utility of the physical function ICU test (scored). Phys Ther. 2013;93(12):1-e3.

Recent studies have demonstrated safety, feasibility, and decreased hospital length of stay for patients with weakness acquired in the intensive care unit (ICU) who receive early physical rehabilitation. The scored Physical Function in Intensive ...

With growing awareness of the importance of rehabilitation, new measures are being developed specifically for use in the intensive care unit (ICU). There are currently 26 measures reported to assess function in ICU survivors. The Physical Function in Intensive care Test scored (PFIT-s) has established clinimetric properties.

重症监护病房（Intensive Care Unit，ICU）患者病情危重，加之长期卧床制动、镇静镇痛药物的使用等导致患者容易出现重要器官功能障碍、败血症、神经肌肉毒性等不良反应，损害心血管和肌肉骨骼系统，从而导致患者身体功能下降 [1,2] 。

2017年8月29日 · This test can be used to guide exercise prescription within the ICU as well as measure functional recovery. The PFIT-s is a battery outcome measure involving four components: sit to stand assistance, marching on the spot cadence, shoulder flexor and knee extensor strength.

This test is designed to assess the physical function of ICU patients. Please complete each component as outlined below. Follow the specific instructions provided for each section. The PFIT-s is suitable for patients who are alert and cooperative. If the patient can sit in a chair, conduct the test in this position.

2013年12月1日 · Several tests have recently been developed to measure changes in patient strength and functional outcomes in the intensive care unit (ICU). The original Physical Function ICU Test (PFIT) demonstrates reliability and sensitivity.

2014年5月8日 · Objectives: To evaluate the impact of the additional use of early neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on an early mobilization (EM) protocol. Design: Randomized controlled trial. Setting:...

The evaluation of physical functioning is valuable in the intensive care unit (ICU) to help inform patient recovery after critical illness, to identify patients who may require rehabilitation interventions, and to monitor responsiveness to such ...
