Rehabilitation training

Q: What did studies of rehabilitation training find?

Studies of rehabilitation training measured 2 outcomes: duration of norepinephrine use at ≤ 0.5 μg×kg−1×min−1 and length of ICU stay.

Q: What is rehabilitation training linked with?

Studies link rehabilitation training with Standing Test for Imbalance and Disequilibrium.

Rehabilitation training has been studied in 6 papers since 2016: 3 trials and 3 observational studies in people; 2 in the past year. The newest story, Nov 11, 2026: “Added acupuncture points improved swallowing in older patients”.

Rehabilitation training decreases duration of norepinephrine use at ≤ 0.5 μg×kg−1×min−1 in humans (120.0 (72.0, 144.0) vs. 144.5 (120.0, 192.0) hours; P = 0.003).
