Summary

This study tests whether a structured walking program, added to standard care, can improve quality of life and reduce long-term complications in people who have had a first deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the leg. Researchers will enroll 152 adults and compare those who receive the walking program with those who receive standard care alone. The program involves 30 minutes of walking daily, starting at moderate intensity and progressing over time.
