INTRODUCTION: Early mobilization (MP) can be defined as sufficient physical activity to promote physiological improvements and reduce your hospital stay. Practice with children is still a challenge. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the knowledge of physical therapists working in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs), as well as to verify the clinical practice regarding PM in critical pediatric patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Observational, transversal, and descriptive survey study, through an online questionnaire. The variables studied in this research were related to three domains, professional profile, professional knowledge about the existing scientific evidence about the benefits of PM, and the research participant's perception of the importance of PM in these patients and the barriers experienced by him. RESULTS: 42 responses were considered in the collection of results; 92.9% were female, 45.2% had more than 10 years of training in physical therapy, and 42.8% worked for 5 to 10 years in a pediatric ICU. Regarding the practice of early mobilization, 88.1% said they believe that the studies suggest benefits, and 7.1% that there is no scientific evidence to support its performance. All professionals reported using PM in their care routine. CONCLUSION: It can be seen that, in this observed sample, all professionals perform the practice of PM in their care routine and that the lack of knowledge of the multidisciplinary team is considered as the main barrier to performance.
