What this trial studies
This study investigates the effects of physical activity performed during dialysis sessions on the quality of life and various health parameters in chronic dialysis patients. It aims to determine whether engaging in physical activity can improve muscle strength, cardiovascular health, and overall well-being in patients undergoing hemodialysis. The study will involve compliant patients at CHI André Grégoire who have been on dialysis for more than three months and will assess the clinical significance of any observed benefits.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and over who have been on chronic hemodialysis for more than three months and can consent to participate in physical activity during their sessions.
Not a fit: Patients with severe comorbid conditions, such as advanced cardiac or respiratory diseases, or those unable to participate due to physical limitations will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance the quality of life and health outcomes for patients undergoing chronic dialysis.
How similar studies have performed: While some studies have shown potential benefits of physical activity during dialysis, the clinical significance remains uncertain, making this approach somewhat novel.
