Remote vs In-Person Exercise for Kidney Transplant Candidates
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares a remote (online) exercise program with an in-person one to help kidney transplant candidates get stronger before surgery. It tests whether doing exercises at home is as good as coming to the hospital.
