Personalised exercise-rehabilitation for people with multiple long-term conditions (PERFORM): a randomised feasibility study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Existing exercise-based rehabilitation services, such as cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation, are traditionally commissioned around single long-term conditions (LTCs) and therefore may not meet the complex needs of adults with multiple long-term conditions (MLTCs) or multimorbidity.
