Reference values for lower-limb strength in people on hemodialysis

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study seeks to establish reference values for lower-limb dynamometry in adults with CKD undergoing hemodialysis. It builds on prior work showing intradialytic measurement of hip flexion and abduction is feasible and safe, with the goal of defining normative benchmarks for this population. The project considers the logistical challenges of testing during dialysis sessions and aims to provide interpretable strength data to support functional assessment. No interventions are applied beyond measurement, and eligibility requires being on dialysis for at least one month and able to understand the assessments. Data collection occurs at collaborating centers in Madrid and Potsdam to capture diverse patient experiences.
