Interventions/Control_1

During hemodialysis, pedal exercise primarily targeting the lower limbs will be performed, and its effects will be evaluated. The intervention period is 6 weeks, conducted during dialysis three times per week. Each intervention session lasts approximately 20 minutes.

Results

A dialysis exercise intervention was implemented for 10 elderly dialysis patients. While no significant changes were observed in the primary outcome measures of cognitive function (MMSE, CogEvo) before and after the intervention, significant improvements were noted in grip strength and in the "Overall Health Perception" and "Burden of Kidney Disease" subscales of the KDQOL-SF quality of life assessment. Regarding sarcopenia, the number of patients with severe sarcopenia decreased after the intervention.

Baseline Characteristics

The study included 10 elderly patients aged 75 years or older (all male, mean age 81.3 SD 4.9 years) undergoing maintenance hemodialysis.

Participant flow

Ten elderly dialysis patients who consented to participate in the study were enrolled. All subjects underwent the exercise intervention during dialysis and completed pre- and post-intervention assessments, making all 10 subjects eligible for analysis.

Adverse events

No serious adverse events related to the exercise intervention during dialysis were observed during the study period.

Outcome measures

Cognitive function (MMSE, CogEvo), quality of life (KDQOL-SF), sarcopenia assessment (AWGS2019), and physical function (SPPB), grip strength, and skeletal muscle mass (SMI) were evaluated.
