    was determined by the improvement identified by means of the modified Rankin scale, evaluated at admission and discharge of the ICU patient. Results: A total of 168 individuals were studied, 94 made up the intervention cohort and 74 made up the control group. The average age was 64 years and the groups were balanced by gender. The data obtained in this study demonstrate that the physiotherapeutic intervention intervenes in the recovery of the patient within the ICU, as a protective factor (RR 0.69 CI95% 0.61-0.81) and in the same way it is appreciated that those who did not receive therapy Rehabilitation patients showed greater deterioration in discharge conditions than those who underwent surgery, with differences of up to two points on the Rankin scale (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Here we verify that rehabilitation is an excellent option as adjuvant treatment in the patient admitted to the Intensive Care Unit. The decision to use it as a routine procedure could have a positive impact on the quality of life of the patient recovered from a condition that eventually kept his life at risk. We propose the integration of this type of management in clinical practice guidelines, standardized in all intensive care units, giving the opportunity to raise expectations in the care of the critical patient, beyond life support.
