This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether a 6-week home-based exercise program can help children who have finished tuberculosis treatment but still have breathing problems. Even after successful TB treatment, many children experience lasting lung damage and reduced lung function. Researchers want to see if guided exercises done at home—with caregiver supervision and phone check-ins from a physiotherapist—can safely improve children's ability to exercise, lung strength, and quality of life.
Many children in Uganda finish TB treatment but continue to have breathing difficulties and damaged lungs. While exercise programs have helped adults with chronic lung disease, no one has tested whether these programs work safely and practically for children in low-resource settings where traveling to clinics is difficult.

You likely don't qualify if…
Over 6 weeks, you or your child would do twice-weekly walking and strength exercises at home, guided by a caregiver using instructions from a physiotherapist. A study team member would check in by phone or home visit once per week to see how things are going. You would wear a pedometer to track activity and write down exercises in a workbook to help the team monitor progress.
