“…The amount of physical exercise performed was measured by using a Kenz Lifecorder EX 1-axial accelerometer pedometer with an acceleration sensor (Suzuken Co Ltd., Nagoya, Japan). The accelerometer pedometers were worn continuously for 1 year and were removed only when bathing or sleeping [14]. The physical exercise indicators were number of steps (steps/day) [14], amount of exercise performed (total amount of calories burnt through exercise: kcal/day) [14], and time spent on performing mid-level load exercises (min/day) [15].…”

BackgroundOnly a few research is available on the effects of home-based exercise training on pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Therefore, we aimed to elucidate the effect of home-based exercise therapy on kidney function and arm and leg muscle strength in pre-dialysis CKD patients.MethodsThirty-six male stage 3–4 pre-dialysis CKD patients (age, 68.7 ± 6.8 years; estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), 39.0 ± 11.6 ml/min/1.73 m2) who were being treated as outpatients were included. The subjects were randomly assigned to an exercise intervention group (Ex group: 18) and a control group (C group: 18). The Ex group wore accelerometer pedometers and were instructed to perform home-based aerobic and resistance exercises, such as brisk walking for 30 min per day, for 12 months. The C group subjects wore accelerometer pedometers but received no exercise therapy guidance; the number of steps covered during normal daily activities was recorded for the C group. The outcome measures were changes in kidney function and handgrip and knee extension muscle strength. Values at the baseline (T1) and 12 months later (T2) were compared.ResultsThere were no significant differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups; however, the C group was more physically active than the Ex group. Eight subjects dropped out, and 28 subjects (14 in each group) were included in the final analysis. Physical activity increased significantly only in the Ex group. Grip strength (F = 7.0, p = 0.01) and knee extension muscle strength (F = 14.3, p < 0.01) were found to improve only in the Ex group. Further, the changes in eGFR were not significantly different between the two groups (F = 0.01, p = 0.93).ConclusionsHome-based exercise therapy for pre-dialysis CKD patients was feasible and improved arm and leg muscle strength without affecting kidney function.Trial registrationUMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN000005091).

“…The mean age of the participants in the experimental and control groups combined was 47 (SD 7). Two studies comprised participants with cardiovascular diseases (25,26) and 4 studies participants with obesity or a sedentary lifestyle (23,(27)(28)(29). In 2 studies, the participants' health status was unspecified (i.e.…”

“…Several studies validate the pedometer as a therapeutic tool, used as an incentive for independent physical activity, once the user receives visual feedback from the device [11][12][13]. In this research, the device was only used as an instrument to measure mobility, as it was delivered sealed and the participant did not have access to the recorded data.…”

“…Besides all this, the mobility also reduces postoperative complications, and improves the physiological functional capacity and healing process. It also accelerates the discharge process, which is already associated with reduction of re-hospitalization [12,13,24].…”

Objective: To analyze postoperative mobility after cardiac surgery. Methods: Observational study in patients, aged ≥ 18 years, undergoing myocardial revascularization and/or valvular heart surgery, hospitalized in a Brazil hospital. The data collection took place between April 2016 and March 2017. On admission to the ward, patients received a calibrated pedometer. They were asked to use the device during five consecutive days, yet only three days of full use were analyzed. Results: Analyzed were data of 87 individuals with mean age of 58.70 ± 12.59 years, 52 (59.8%) of them were males. Regarding surgery, 53 (60.9%) underwent myocardial revascularization. The median number of steps was 738 (185-1,557), which showed a weak and inverse correlation with the length of stay in the intensive care unit (r = -0.3 / p = 0.02), however, it was not statistically significant when related to clinical and surgical data. Male patients had a better mobility when compared to patients of the female sex (p = 0.04). Conclusions: Individuals who had a longer stay in the intensive care unit, as well as females, had a lower mobility in the ward. The mobility did not show a relation with intra-and postoperative factors.
