Core Tip	This study demonstrates that a supervised 12-week telerehabilitation programme is safe, feasible, and effective in addressing frailty among cirrhotic patients awaiting liver transplantation. Adherent patients showed significant improvements in frailty scores (Liver Frailty Index), functional capacity (4-minute step test), and quality of life (36-Item Short Form Health Survey domains). These findings support the use of telerehabilitation as a practical strategy for pre-transplant optimisation in a high-risk, geographically dispersed population.
