Background: Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), an abdominal surgery, is known for its complexity, cost and inherent risks. Recently, there has been increasing interest in enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) as a therapeutic approach. However, the mechanisms underlying postoperative functional recovery remain uncertain, and there are limited data on the efficacy of ERAS in postoperative physiotherapy following complex PD.

Methods: The subjects of this randomized clinical trial were randomly divided into the test and control groups. The control group maintained their exercise habits, while the trial group was given a 12-week personalized home prehabilitation exercise prescription (aerobic exercise + functional resistance exercise + flexibility exercise) on a new social platform with remote guidance.
Objective: Evaluate the feasibility of ERAS-based home exercise pre-rehabilitation in patients awaiting kidney transplantation.
Methodology: The proposed feasibility trial will be a single-arm, single-center study. A total of 47 ESRD patients awaiting kidney transplantation will be selected as subjects to undergo personalized family exercise pre-rehabilitation, including aerobic exercise, functional resistance exercise, and flexibility training.
