Effects of Early Intensive Physical Therapy for Patients With Subarachnoid Hemorrhage in a Neurological ICU
This study will investigate the safety and feasibility of early intensive physical therapy
for patients diagnosed with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Intervention will begin in the
neurological Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and continue for 30 days or hospital discharge.
