Background: The exercise intervention can help participants with prolonged mechanical ventilation improve ventilator weaning; however, the content of exercise intervention is diverse and inconsistent. Objective: This study aims to design the continuous mobility training and examine the clinical effects in participants with prolonged mechanical ventilation. Methods: This prospective, single-center, concealed allocation, evaluator-blind, randomized control study divided participants transferred from the intensive care unit to the respiratory care center into two groups. The control group underwent the routine ventilator weaning plan and hand bicycle training, while the experimental group underwent routine ventilator weaning plan and continuous mobility training plan. The success rate of ventilator weaning, length of mechanical ventilation, length of stay at the respiratory care center, and total length of hospital stay were analyzed.
