Sponsor's own description

End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is a potential outcome of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) that requires renal replacement therapy in the form of dialysis or transplantation.Despite the encouraging benefits seen in PHD who exercised, they may be confronted with more barriers to start and maintain an exercise program than healthy persons, e.g. due to reduced accessibility of specialised physiotherapists. Telerehabilitation (TR), a subfield of telemedicine, may help to overcome some of the barriers to exercise regularly and connect PHD with specialised physiotherapists. The primary objective of this study is to determine feasibility of this TR exercise approach in preparation of a future RCT. Focus of the study is recruitment, attrition and adherence to the intervention, data collection methods and acceptability/satisfaction of the intervention.

The secondary objectives are to evaluate potential impacts of this intervention approach on physical function and health-related disability and quality of life. The study intervention is an interactive tablet-based home exercise program. The program is called "Dividat Fit" and works interactive, meaning that the responsible specialised Physiotherapist (PT) supervises the training progression of her/his patient weekly and if necessary assists the patient via remote or through a visit at home.
