Physical training during haemodialysis: a review of subject literature

Journal Title: Rehabilitacja Medyczna - Year 2010, Vol 14, Issue 3

Abstract

Background: Individuals chronically haemodialysized have a reduced physical ability. For around 30 years attempts have been under­taken at motor rehabilitation of this population.Aim: The aim of the work is an analysis of the course and effects of training programmes conducted during haemodialysis in indivi­duals with chronic kidney disease.Method: A review of data bases was conducted – Science Direct, SPORTDiscus, Medline, Academic Search Complete – through the application of key words connected with the type of physical training undertaken during haemodialysis and its effects. 26 research projects underwent analysis, these being divided into three groups: non-controlled research work of the ‘before-after’ type, control­led research, and controlled research with randomization. In the two first groups a single research project was included with a hete­rogeneous research group i.e. those subjected to peritoneal dialysis and haemodialysis (HD+CAPD).Results: Patients were offered various forms of training. The most often was continuous endurance training on a ergometer cycle, to which were added in some pieces of research resistance training and/ or coordination exercises. In total 407 patients completed the training programmes in all the tests. The length of the programmes oscillated from 2 to 40 months. In 16 of the 26 programmes the training was conducted during the first two hours of the haemodialysis treatment. In eleven projects it lasted from 30 to 90 minu­tes. The intensity of the training sessions was expressed in % HRpeak of the exercise test or by means of the Borg Scale. As a result of the programmes conducted an array of benefits were achieved: improvement in physical fitness, improvement in the composition and function of skeletal muscles, reduction in the factors causing cardiovascular illness risks, improvement in the quality of life, en­hanced haemodialysis affectivity.Conclusions: Physical training during haemodialysis is beneficial for patients with chronic kidney disease. Movement therapy effecti­vely helps dialysis therapy.
