Home-Based Exercise as an Intervention to Treat Decreased Physical Function in Patients With Varying Levels of Kidney Function
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating 8 week home-based exercise program for Chronic Kidney Disease. Completed, enrolled 15 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
The investigators will conduct a pilot study to determine whether home-based exercise is an effective intervention to improve decreased physical function in kidney transplant candidates. The investigators will determine if home-based exercise improves frailty parameters and SPPB scores. The investigators will also determine if home-based exercise improves health-related quality of life (HRQOL), physical activity, and adverse clinical outcomes, including hospitalizations.
