First seen Jul 09, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether participating in a routine physiotherapy program after a liver transplant leads to better physical and cognitive outcomes about a year later. Researchers compared liver transplant recipients who did physiotherapy with those who did not, measuring balance, mobility, thinking skills, and fatigue. The goal is to understand if adding physiotherapy to standard follow-up care can improve long-term recovery.
