Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Cycle Ergometry + Standard PT/OTExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The study intervention will include the same standard PT/OT procedures as the control arm (Standard PT/OT alone) with the addition of the Motomed Letto 2 lower extremity cycle ergometry sessions.
Group II: Standard PT/OT aloneActive Control1 Intervention
The control arm will involve standard PT/OT procedures that patients in the transplant intensive care unit receive routinely, with frequency to be determined by a physical and/or occupational therapist, and may include but are not limited to the following: Passive and active upper and lower extremity strength exercises, while in bed, sitting upright, and standing; stretching various muscle groups while supine in bed, sitting upright, and standing; in-bed mobility training including rolling and boosting; transfer training with and without an assistive device; gait training with and without an assistive device; balance exercises while sitting and standing; activities of daily living while sitting and standing; cognitive retraining
