Summary

This study tests whether a 12-week online program of exercise, nutrition advice, and behavioral support can improve physical function in adults with cirrhosis who are waiting for a liver transplant. About 177 participants from six Canadian transplant centers will be randomly assigned to either the online program or usual care. The main goal is to see if the program helps patients become less frail and better prepared for surgery.
