Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Early daily occupational therapy intervention	early occupational therapy	A daily occupational therapy intervention is performed with the patients included. The intervention will consist of assessment as well as early positioning and/or rehabilitation in activities of daily living.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Early daily occupational therapy intervention feasability (case report form with questions to ask)	Up to intensive care unit discharge, estimated as an average of 6 days	Assess the feasibility of providing early daily occupational therapy interventions in the Adult Intensive Medicine Service of the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois within the current interdisciplinary team. Every day, the occupational therapist complete a case report form which say if the intervention can be realise or not in order to find the feasability of a daily early occupationnal therapy intervention. The feasability is mesure every day for each participant until they leave the intensive care unit.; the feasibility assessment contains several elements, including the possibility or not of carrying out the intervention, but also the safety aspect with the collection of possible adverse events.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Daily occupational therapy intervention description by completion of case report form	Up to intensive care unit discharge, estimated as an average of 6 days	Describe the content of the occupational therapy intervention in intensive care unit. Occupational therapists complete a form for each intervention (daily) regarding the type of intervention they have performed with the participants (positioning, daily activities, etc.) until the end of the intervention, when the patient leaves the intensive care unit.
