Feasibility of an Early Initiated Physiotherapy Intervention Among Patients With Deep Vein Thrombosis.

The focus of the intervention is on exercises that can improve venous return, and consists of progressive walking training at moderate and high intensity as well as guidance on physical activity. The training program is inspired by the WHO's recommendations for physical activity. The training program consists of a 14-day introductory period based on an initial interview with a physiotherapist, where the aim is to hit 30 min. times/day at moderate intensity. After 14 days, the patient receives physiotherapeutic guidance in physical activity and is introduced to the next period of 14 days, where the activity level is maintained, and the goal is to further achieve 2 x 20 min./week of high-intensity physical activity. After one month of training, the patient will be guided on maintaining and possibly progressing physical activity.
