It is suggested to start the implementation of a structed EM program with the idendentification of local barriers and facilitators by an interdisciplinary PICU team. Further, an increased presence of physiotherapists on the PICU would improve mobilisation levels, and facilitate mobilisation in critically ill children. Also, they can support and advice PICU nurses and parents in mobilising children.
