Objective To characterize how early mobilization is defined in the published literature and describe the evi-
dence on safety and efficacy on early mobilization in critically ill children.
Study design Systematic search of randomized and nonrandomized studies assessing early mobilization-
based physical therapy in critically ill children under 18 years of age in MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, CENTRAL,
the National Institutes of Health, Evidence in Pediatric Intensive Care Collaborative, Physiotherapy Evidence Da-
tabase, and the Mobilization-Network. We extracted data to identify the types of mobility-based interventions and
definitions for early, as well as barriers, feasibility, adverse events, and efficacy outcomes (mortality, morbidities,
and length of stay).
Results Of 1199 titles found, we included 11 studies (2 pilot trials and 9 observational studies) and 1 clinical prac-
tice guideline in the analyses. Neurodevelopmentally appropriate increasing mobility levels have been described
for critically ill children, and “early” mobilization was defined as either a range (within 48-72 hours) from admission
to the pediatric intensive care unit or when clinical safety criteria are met. Current evidence suggests that early
mobilization is safe and feasible and institutional practice guidelines significantly increase the frequency of reha-
bilitation consults, improve the proportion of patients who receive early mobilization, and reduce the time to mo-
bilization. However, there were inconsistencies in populations and interventions across studies, and imprecision
and risk of bias in included studies that precluded us from pooling data to evaluate the efficacy outcomes of early
mobilization.
Conclusions The definition of early mobilization varies, but seems to be feasible and safe in critically ill chil-
dren. The efficacy for early mobilization in this population is yet undetermined because of the low certainty of the
evidence available. (J Pediatr 2018;203:25-33).

hildren are at risk of physical, neurocognitive, and psychosocial sequelae as a result of critical illness.1-3 These
C complications significantly impact the functional recovery and quality of life of critically ill children and their
families after hospital discharge.4,5 As a result, there is great interest in acute rehabilitation interventions initiated in
the intensive care unit (ICU) setting for both children and adults. There is a growing body of evidence demonstrating safety,
efficacy, and cost effectiveness of early mobilization in critically ill adults.6-12 Multimodal, interdisciplinary approaches to
mobility-based physical therapy are associated with decreased muscle weakness, sedation requirements, delirium, length of
mechanical ventilation, and length of hospital stay in adults.8-12 However, the evidence in children is unclear, particularly with
respect to what constitutes mobilization, the timing, appropriateness, and approaches to mobilizing children in the pediatric
ICU (PICU).
The objective of this review was to systematically evaluate the literature on early mobilization in critically ill children. Our
specific aims are to characterize the spectrum of definitions of (1) mobility-based therapies or interventions, (2) “early” mo-
bilization, and (3) safety criteria for mobilization. Also, we aim to assess adverse events and efficacy outcomes (ie, mortality,
morbidities, days in PICU) related to mobilization in critically ill children.
