Home Exercise Program for Frail Kidney Transplant Candidates
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a 12-week home exercise program (supervised by video calls) can help people who are frail feel stronger and healthier before a kidney transplant. You'll do exercises at home and connect with a trainer online.
