Plain-language summary
Study Title Rehabilitation Program for Bedridden Patients Using Digital Devices
Study Purpose This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a rehabilitation program using digital devices and apps for bedridden patients in a hospital setting. The goal is to determine if digital rehabilitation can help improve physical function and contribute to recovery for patients who are unable to move easily.
Study Participants The study will involve 20 adult patients who are bedridden and hospitalized. Participants will use the provided app, which delivers a customized rehabilitation exercise program.
Study Methodology Exercise Protocol: Patients will follow a personalized exercise program through the MORA app, performing the exercises twice daily for a period of 2 weeks. Each session will last approximately 30 minutes and will be tailored to the patient's physical condition to ensure safety.
Safety and Effectiveness Monitoring: The study will track the patients' physical function (e.g., strength, mobility) and monitor for any discomfort or adverse effects that may arise during the exercise sessions.
Study Duration The study will run from September 2024 to December 2025. During this period, participants will engage in rehabilitation exercises using the digital app.
Expected Outcomes This study will demonstrate whether digital rehabilitation can be a safe and effective treatment option for bedridden patients in the hospital. The findings are expected to help improve physical recovery for these patients and contribute to enhancing rehabilitation practices within hospital settings.
Safety Considerations The exercises in this study are designed with safety in mind and will be adjusted to a low intensity. Any discomfort or adverse effects will be monitored closely, and immediate action will be taken if necessary. All exercises will be conducted under the supervision of healthcare professionals.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Adult patients (aged ≥19 years)
* Hospitalized patients with a Functional Ambulatory Category (FAC) score of ≤ 3 and who are bedridden.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients with significant cognitive impairment that prevents them from operating the app.
* Patients with severe pain or limited range of motion preventing participation in physical activity.
* Patients with severe biomechanical instability.
* Patients with significant sensory impairments (e.g., visual or auditory) that would hinder participation in the rehabilitation program.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Since this trial focused on feasibility rather than treatment effectiveness, what did it actually find — does my doctor know whether the digital rehab platform was practical and safe to use for bedridden ICU patients like me?
2Because this study is already completed, would my doctor be able to share or look up any published results or findings that might inform whether this type of digital rehabilitation could be relevant to my recovery from ICU-acquired weakness?
3This trial was described as 'NA' phase, meaning it wasn't testing a drug but rather a rehab technology — can my doctor explain how a digital platform like this would fit alongside or instead of the standard physical therapy I'd normally receive in the ICU?
4ICU-acquired weakness can vary a lot in severity — can my doctor help me understand whether the type and degree of weakness I have is similar to the patients who participated in this study, so we can judge whether the findings might apply to my situation?
5Since this trial only measured feasibility and safety as its main goal, does that mean there's still a lot unknown about whether this digital rehab approach actually improves outcomes, and what would my doctor recommend as the most evidence-backed rehabilitation option for me right now?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
