Abstract:
Liver transplantation is the definitive treatment for individuals with end-stage liver disease. However, a range of medical and physical complications frequently arise following transplantation, which can hinder a patient's overall recovery. Post-operative rehabilitation is often necessary to support and enhance functional outcomes. This review explores the role of early mobilization and inpatient rehabilitation, outlines the rehabilitation process, defines the role of the physiatrist and the interdisciplinary rehabilitation team, and examines the potential functional gains for liver transplant recipients who undergo inpatient rehabilitation.
