Official title
Home-based Physical Therapy Intervention to Decrease Frailty in Liver Transplant Candidates
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Frailty is a significant problem in patients undergoing liver transplant and is associated with poor outcomes and survival. Hence, optimizing physical fitness and counteracting frailty is important. However, many interventions are very resource intensive and therefore not feasible. In this study, the investigators aim to test the effectiveness of a newly designed intervention to improve frailty in liver transplant candidates. The "LIver FrailTy" intervention (LIFT) will consist of an evaluation by a physical therapist, an individualized home exercise prescription (HEP), exercise tracking using a smart phone application, daily text reminders to exercise and recurrent telephone check-ins.
