Home-Based Exercise to Treat Decreased Physical Function in Patients With Varying Levels of Kidney Function

Part of paid clinical trials in Rochester, Minnesota.

Sponsor: Baylor College of Medicine
Study ID: NCT04745169
Status: Completed

Conditions

Chronic Kidney Disease

Eligibility Criteria

Sex: ALL
Age: 18 Years - N/A

Interventions

8 week home-based exercise program — BEHAVIORAL
Participants will be asked to complete an 8-week home-based exercise program according to guidelines from the American Heart Association and the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation. At study baseline, participants will receive exercise equipment and an individualized exercise prescription from an exercise physiologist followed by 8 weekly phone calls from an exercise physiologist. Participant safety will be monitored.

Study Details

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.
