Globally people recover from critical illnesses and get discharged from an ICU setup, however it has been noticed that patients develop weakness, probably credited to their prolonged period of immobilization.[1] Post intensive care syndrome was the term used which describes worsening of physical, mental and cognitive problems. [2] Early mobilization of the critically ill patients is a safe option with additional benefits of improving functional outcomes.[3]
