Translation and Validation of the Intensive Care Unit Mobility Scale (IMS)

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Intensive care unit acquired weakness (ICUAW) is a common issue in critically ill patients. Early mobilization can reduce the occurrence of ICUAW. This requires a standardized procedure based on validated scales. One such scale is Carol Hodgson's ICU Mobility Scale (IMS). The subject of the study is the translation of the IMS into German and the validation of its reliability and predictive power with regard to various clinical outcomes. Furthermore we want to investigate the communication about the mobilisation status of ICU-patients between the different medical disciplines that are involved in patient care.

Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
