Summary

The primary outcome of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of a prehabilitation program at Barnes Jewish Hospital for liver transplant candidates. Those patients who consent to participate in the study and are placed on the transplant list will be randomized into either the control or intervention group. The intervention group receives a personalized home exercise program along with weekly phone calls to provide coaching, mentoring and motivation. Data collected at baseline, post-transplant and, post-transplant follow up will be compared among the two study groups. The secondary outcomes include: normative data of functional measures for patients with end stage liver disease and to determine the effect size for future research on prehabilitation in the patient population.
