Exercise program to enhance physical performance and quality of life of older hemodialysis patients: a feasibility study

Abstract: Objective-Evaluate the feasibility of implementing a combined in-hospital and home-based exercise program in older hemodialysis (HD) patients.Design-A prospective longitudinal 12-week pilot study.Setting-A university hospital HD unit and patients' homes.Participants-A convenience sample of 9 older (>55years) patients undergoing HD. Results-The mean (SD) age of the patients was 68.1 (7.1). Participation in the in-hospital supervised exercise program was high, with patients exercising during 89% of HD sessions, … Show more

“…Although the DASI questionnaire has been used in renal disease populations (12,27,28), reliability and validity studies are lacking in CKD patients. The aim of this study was to assess the reliability and validity of the DASI questionnaire as a predictor of EC in patients with CKD.…”

“…Nonoyama (34) proposed the implementation of an exercise program to be followed during hospital and home hemodialysis. The author found that adherence was higher during hospital sessions -under direct supervision and using appropriate equipmentwhen compared to the same program developed at the patients' home.…”

“…In addition to direct professional supervision and higher levels of individual attention, other positive factors to be considered when analyzing patients´ high adherence to the program developed at hospital may be the fact that patients were actively involved in selecting the best exercise modality and the types of exercises to be performed during hemodialysis, which did not require any additional time beyond that already needed for hemodialysis. Reasons identified for low adherence to home exercise were lack of motivation and lack of time (34).…”

“…However, in home-based exercise programs the participation was lower compared the other forms of exercise training programs due to the lack of motivation. Specifically, Nomoyama et al [49] applied for 12 weeks an exercise program, which compared home-based and intradialytic exercise training. The results showed that the participation in the intradialytic exercise program was higher (89%) compared to home-based program (56%) while the differences were attributed to the fact that in intradialytic exercise training program, the patients were more aware of the benefits of exercise because the exercise was taking place during their usual therapy [49].…”
