AB A  transplant  of  hematopoietic  stem  cells  from  bone  marrow,  peripheral  blood,  or  umbilical  cord  blood  into  a  client's  bone  marrow  is  a  life-saving  procedure.  Clients  typically  have  a  type  of  cancer  that  requires  chemotherapy  or  radiation  that  destroys  the  bone  marrow  in  order  to  stop  the  progression  of  their  disease.  The  bone  marrow  is  repopulated  with  healthy  stem  cells  that  can  differentiate  into  mature  blood  cells.  The  hematopoietic  stem  cells  can  be  from  an  allogeneic  donor,  usually  a  close  relative,  or  from  the  person's  own  (autologous)  blood.  Clients  undergoing  this  procedure  may  have  numerous  complications  that  will  require  hospitalization  and  involvement  of  many  health-care  providers.  This  procedure  places  the  client  under  a  great  amount  of  physical,  emotional,  and  psychosocial  stress.1  Clients  are  deconditioned  due  to  significant  declines  in  function  and  independence  resulting  from  treatment  of  their  disease  process  and  the  transplant  procedure.2  Exercise  interventions  after  hematopoietic  stem  cell  transplantation  have  many  potential  benefits  for  the  client.1
