Abstract: Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of different types and frequencies of physiotherapy on ventilator weaning among patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) and to identify the optimal type and frequency of intervention. Data sources: PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and Airiti Library. Study selection: Randomized controlled trials that provided information on the dosage of ICU rehabilitation and the parameters related to ventilator weaning were included. Data extraction and management: Treatment types were classified into conventional physical therapy, exercise-based physical therapy, neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NEMS), progressive mobility, and multi-component. The frequencies were divided into high (≥ 2 sessions/day or NEMS of > 60 minutes/day), moderate (one session/day, 3–7 days/week or NEMS of 30–60 minutes/day), and low (one session/day,
