Early mobilization for mechanical ventilation for sepsis or acute respiratory failure (EVER): a multicenter randomized controlled trial with 12-month outcomes.

This trial shows that simply increasing mobilization frequency and duration does not automatically translate into better functional recovery, prompting a re-evaluation of how early mobility protocols are implemented and measured.
