Abstract

Stroke is one of the leading causes of functional disability and admission to intensive care units, requiring early therapeutic interventions to minimize complications and promote patient recovery. The present study aimed to analyze the evidence described in the scientific literature regarding the effects of early mobilization on the functional recovery of stroke patients admitted to the ICU. This is a literature review conducted through searches in the PubMed, PEDro, and MEDLINE databases, including studies published between 2018 and 2025. The results showed that early mobilization, when initiated in a safe, progressive, and individualized manner, contributes to improved functional recovery and preservation of patient independence. It is concluded that early mobilization represents a safe and potentially effective physiotherapeutic strategy to promote functional recovery in stroke patients admitted to intensive care, provided that it is applied according to appropriate clinical criteria and integrated into multiprofessional care, with the active and direct participation of the physiotherapist being essential.
