Physical prehabilitation is recognized as a treatment that can help these patients optimize their physical condition and be better prepared for their surgery. The majority of pre-habilitation programs are offered in hospital, but home-based programs offer an alternative way to deliver it and are also more applicable during the current pandemic. The goal of this study is to evaluate the benefits of a virtual home-based pre-habilitation in patients waiting for lung transplantation. We are offering a 12-week intervention followed by a 3-month maintenance period. The 12-week intervention will consist of strengthening exercises (3x\/week) with direct virtual supervision by a physiotherapist and cardiovascular exercises (5x\/week) with indirect supervision. The exercise program will be individualized with patient feedback and the supervision will decrease over time to encourage autonomy. The maintenance phase will consist of weekly phone calls by a physiotherapist until the transplant to keep patients engaged. We will measure exercise capacity, leg strength, quality of life and general weakness before and after the intervention. We will also measure the adherence and acceptability of the intervention. We expect that our intervention will be beneficial for patients awaiting lung transplantation. The findings of this study will provide the groundwork for a larger trial investigating whether this intervention can improve physical function and quality of life of patients waiting for lung transplantation.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:30px;width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-double sep-solid\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;border-color:#e0dede;border-top-width:1px;border-bottom-width:1px;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/2021-cdtrp-research-innovation-grant-competition\/\">View the\u00a0results of the 2021 CDTRP Research Innovation Grant Competition<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/cdtrp-innovation-grant-winners\/\">View past CDTRP Innovation Grants winners here.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":12473,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,75],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12471","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general","category-featured"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12471"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12471"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12471\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24749,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12471\/revisions\/24749"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12473"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12471"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12471"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12471"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
