About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a home-based pulmonary rehabilitation program is feasible and acceptable for children ages 6-15 who have recently completed treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Can children and caregivers follow a 6-week rehabilitation program?
Is the program acceptable and feasible for children and caregivers?
Researchers will also explore preliminary changes in walking distance and quality of life.
Participants will:

Receive exercise instructions and a pedometer
Complete home-based walking and wall sit exercises twice per week for 6 weeks
Receive weekly follow-up from study staff (by phone or home visit)
Return to clinic at 6 weeks for follow-up testing
