“…In brief, pre‐habilitation included 90‐minute sessions of stretching, functional exercises (squats, stair‐stepping), upper and lower extremity resistance training, and continuous moderate intensity aerobic exercise on a treadmill and cycle (20 minutes each). Treadmill intensity targeted 70%‐80% of the 6MWT speed 16 . Supplemental oxygen was titrated to support aerobic exercise with the aim to maintain an oxygen saturation of ≥ 88%.…”

A Borg dyspnea score of 3 to 4 (moderate to somewhat severe) was also used to guide training, 17 and heart rate was not permitted to exceed 85% of age-predicted maximal heart rate.…”

Alongside surgical and medical advancements in lung transplantation, the demographics of lung-transplant candidates have shifted such that older, sicker patients with an increased co-morbidity burden have experienced increased access to transplant. 1 This has led to concern around the impact of physical and medical frailty on pre-transplant outcomes (delisting, death) and post-transplant morbidity and mortality. 2 Frailty is described as a decreased physiological reserve and increased vulnerability to major stressors and adverse outcomes such as disability, surgical complications, and mortality. 3 Different models of frailty exist including physical or phenotypic frailty (strength, endurance, and physiological functioning,) and cumulative deficits frailty (number of accumulated deficits over time incorporating health conditions, laboratory values, and functional impairments). 3-5 Individuals undergo functional testing as part of the lung-transplant (LTx) candidacy assessment to help determine fitness for

“…Exercise intensity and duration are prescribed and progressed according to exertional oxygen saturation, heart rate and symptoms of dyspnea and leg fatigue using the modified 0-10 Borg scale[ 48 ]. A percentage of the 6MWT speed can be used for lung transplant candidates to prescribe walking speed on the treadmill[ 49 ].…”

Physical rehabilitation of lung transplant candidates and recipients plays an important in optimizing physical function prior to transplant and facilitating recovery of function post-transplant. As medical and surgical interventions in lung transplantation have evolved over time, there has been a demographic shift of individuals undergoing lung transplantation including older individuals, those with multiple co-morbidites, and candidates with respiratory failure requiring bridging to transplantation. These changes have an impact on the rehabilitation needs of lung transplant candidates and recipients. This review provides a practical approach to rehabilitation based on research and clinical practice at our transplant centre. It focuses on functional assessment and exercise prescription during an uncomplicated and complicated clinical course in the pre-transplant, early and late post-transplant periods. The target audience includes clinicians involved in pre- and post-transplant patient care and rehabilitation researchers.
