Patients cared for in a protected environment au- tomatically are referred to physical therapy for guid- ance for a self-directed exercise program. Because these patients cannot leave their rooms, they are is- sued either a sanitized stationary bicycle or an in-bedpedocycle to maintain endurance. The exercise pro- gram will also entail making several laps around their small hospital room each day. Patients transferred to the intensive care unit continue to be followed by the rehabilitation team as long as their condition permits physical activity and their prognosis warrants it.
