A recent study published in the Journal of American Society of Nephrology, or JASN, has said that a simple exercise program carried out at home improved dialysis patients` walking performance and quality of life.
Speaking about this, researchers said, Cognitive function and quality of scores of participants in the study improved significantly in the exercise arm compared with the control arm. Poor physical functioning is perhaps the most pervasive and disabling disturbance in patients with advanced kidney disease who are on chronic dialysis. While the effect of regular physical exercise training on physical performance in selected dialysis patients studied in standardized experimental settings in the laboratory is well documented, how exercise training should be articulated and implemented still remains an open problem. Our study shows that simple, home-based exercise programs hold potential for improving physical functioning in dialysis patients.
