Exercise: A Key Component for Success when Preparing for and Recovering from Liver Transplant

About this course

Please visit this page for more information on CEPA.

This course explores the critical role of exercise in improving outcomes for patients preparing for and recovering from liver transplantation. Participants will examine the physiological impact of liver function on muscle mass, metabolism, and functional capacity, as well as the importance of maintaining strength and mobility throughout the transplant process. The course highlights evidence-based strategies in prehabilitation and rehabilitation, including resistance training, early mobilization, and behavior modification to enhance recovery and reduce complications. Emphasis is placed on interdisciplinary care, frailty assessment, and the application of clinical exercise physiology within critical care and transplant settings to optimize patient outcomes and quality of life.

What you will learn

• Explain the physiological impact of liver disease on muscle mass, energy metabolism, and functional capacity in transplant patients
• Understand the role of muscle mass in the post-op rehabilitation process
• Describe the role of exercise, including resistance training and early mobilization, in prehabilitation and post-transplant recovery
• Apply assessment and intervention strategies, such as frailty evaluation (Fried Frailty Phenotype) and individualized exercise programming, to improve transplant outcomes and quality of life
