Summary

Sport improves quality of life and health, decreasing cardiovascular risks and increasing effort tolerance. Chronic renal failure (CRF) induces many clinical and biological complications leading to less effort tolerance (strength and endurance). Renal failure patients got also many cardiovascular risks : sedentarily lifestyle, hypertension (HTA), diabetes, neuropathies, bone disorders, depression and sedentarity due to dialysis sessions. Moreover, dialysis sessions three times a week induce the spiral of deconditioning. In order to counteract this, sport should be encourage in this specific hemodialysis population.

The aim of this study is to evaluate electrostimulation program during dialysis sessions for 3 months. Evaluation will be done using the Test of 6-minute walk (6MWT).

Secondary aims will be evaluated:

* Muscular strength and quadriceps diameter
* Equilibrium
* Quality of life.
* Strength developed during maximal exercise test in a subgroup (patient undergoing dialysis in Rennes center, about 40% of the total population)
* Nutritional intakes (quantitative and qualitative evaluation)

Conditions

  • Chronic Renal Failure (CRF)

Interventions

DEVICE

electrostimulation program (Rehab 400)

electrostimulation program (Rehab 400) : electrostimulation program during dialysis sessions for 3 months. Electrostimulation modalities have been chosen to seek both slow and fast muscle fibers : 35 Hz ; impulsion time: 400 µsec ; on/ off : 7'' contraction / 8'' relaxation. Stimulated muscles are quadriceps. Electrostimulation time will be 30 minutes. Each patient will individually regulate work intensity, maximal intensity should be the maximal tolerable intensity. Electrostimulation will be done 3 times per week. In case of asthenia or medical condition, electrostimulation can be delayed. The program will take place for 3 months.
