Effect of excercise based renal rehabilitation training on excercise capacity and quality of life in hemodialysis subjects A randomized controlled trial

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Chronic Renal Disease is rapidly becoming a serious public health concern; its advancement can result in functional limitations and severe renal dysfunction, as well as a low quality of life. The current study clearly illustrates the effect of renal rehabilitation in Hemodialysis subjects, as well as a higher risk of functional impairment regardless of age, race, or co morbidities. newlineOBJECTIVES: The objective of this research is to provide an organized exercise regimen to find out the effect of exercise based renal rehabilitation training on exercise capacity and quality of life in Hemodialysis subjects in attempt to optimize their exercise capacity and overall quality of life. newlineMETHODOLOGY: This study used a basic randomized selection procedure with 120 subjects with 8 dropouts. 56 for the controlled group and 56 for the experimental group. The FITTs (Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type) concept dictates a 10-week therapy period and 2 weeks of follow up. A 6-minute walk test, WHO-QOL-BREF (World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument) quality of life index, isometric quadriceps muscular strength and Urine Albumin Level were among the parameters measured. newlineRESULTS: After 12 weeks of Exercise based Renal Rehabilitation Training both control and experimental group shows a significant improvement. The experimental groups show much significant improvement than control group. newlineCONCLUSION: Hemodialysis subjects can be evaluated by a physiotherapist based on their symptoms, such as decreased aerobic capacity, exercise capacity, and functional impairment. A physiotherapist can utilize a variety of therapeutic exercise strategies to help Hemodialysis subjects improve their exercise capacity and quality of life. newlineKeywords: Renal rehabilitation, Hemodialysis, exercise capacity and quality of life newline newline newline
