Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults 18 years and older with confirmed Fabry disease who can attend supervised sessions and provide informed consent.
✕Probably not a fit
Individuals unable to safely participate in exercise testing or with conditions that prevent adherence to the program may not benefit.

What this trial studies
Participants with Fabry disease are assigned to either a supervised 12-week exercise program or a non-exercise control. The program includes one supervised session per week, two home-based sessions, aerobic warm-ups, strength work with body weight and bands, and a gradual increase in daily activity monitored by steps. Assessments occur at baseline, after the 12-week program, and 12 months later to gauge lasting effects on physical function and cardiorespiratory fitness. The study aims to expand understanding of structured physiotherapy approaches in Fabry disease, which currently have limited evidence.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience improved physical function, fitness, and quality of life related to Fabry disease.
How similar studies have gone: Previous research on similar physiotherapy and exercise approaches in Fabry disease is limited but suggests potential benefits, making this an exploratory study.
