This case demonstrates the benefits of our early, intensive physical rehabilitation intervention to prevent the natural sequelae occurring from prolonged bed rest. This minimizes neuromuscular weakness and optimizes strength, endurance and cardiorespiratory function, thus accelerating recovery from a long duration of femorally cannulated veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
