Early mobilization in clinical practice: the reliability and feasibility of the 'Start To Move' Protocol.

CONCLUSION: Excellent inter-rater agreement for diagnostic level assignment and moderate to substantial agreement for proposed treatments support the reliability of the protocol. Perfect to excellent associations between prescribed and delivered treatments supports its feasibility. Complications were rare, and most patients were very positive regarding the care provided by physiotherapists during their stay in the ICU.
