Not much active mobilization in mechanically ventilated patients |

|
| Berney et al. [72] (2013) | One-day point prevalence study | Australia and New Zealand | 514 patients admitted to the intensive care unit from 38 ICUs | Low patient mobilization on that day |

| Leong et al. [73] (2017) | Cross-sectional survey on early mobilization of mechanically ventilated patients | Malaysia | 186 nurses working in adult critical care units of University Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC), a 1200-bed referral centre | Mobilizing patient three times and above per shift was reported by 75% of nurses. 47.7% reported that they only performed passive range of motion to mechanically ventilated patients. 29.5% reported that they only provide active ROM for their patient. 72% nurses reported that they had not gone through patient mobilization training |
