Summary

Subjective and objective measures of physical activity are all informative in ICU survivors. They are all reduced 18 months post-discharge in ICU survivors, and worse in those with pre-admission chronic disease states. Investigating interventions to improve functional capacity in ICU survivors will require stratification based on the presence of premorbidity.
