Effects of Home-based Exercise Program on Physical Functioning of Hemodialysis Patients.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Exercise program for Hemodialysis Patients. Completed, enrolled 26 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study is designed to provide a simple, home-based, low-moderate intensity exercise program in chronic renal disease patients who are undergoing hemodialysis in order to improve physical performance, decrease the level of fatigue and eventually increase quality of life in patients. A randomized control trial will be conducted including patients on hemodialysis, who will be randomly allocated to interventional and control groups. Both the groups will receive six weeks of treatment, 3 times per week. Data will be collected at baseline, 3rd week and 6th week. Outcome measures include assessment of physical functioning including six-minute walk test, standing balance, 4-metre gait speed, chair stand, fatigue assessment scale and quality of life in kidney disease patients on hemodialysis.

Timeline
Interventions
Home based exercise program including aerobic and resistance training will be carried out for a period of 6 weeks. Duration of aerobic exercise will be starting at 20 min/session, and progress to 30 ruin/session, with an increased pace according to the patient's capabilities. Resistance training with thera-band for 1 set of 10 repetitions twice a week. One RM will be reassessed weekly, and the program will be adjusted accordingly.
