I am a physiotherapist from a University Hospital in Brasilia, Brazil, and work with patients in the postoperative renal transplantation phase. As I was searching for information and updates on physical therapy interventions for kidney transplant recipients, I contacted Dr. Tania Janaudis-Ferreira who referred me to the CAN-RESTORE website. On the section for healthcare professionals, I obtained clear and objective information on the key components of a rehabilitation program for patients undergoing various types of transplantation as well as access to various interesting research articles in this field, which were very useful for updating the physiotherapy protocol I use with kidney transplant recipients. I would like to congratulate the CAN-RESTORE team – their website provides useful and practical information that can greatly assist physical therapists working in this area!
