No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The objective of this study will be to evaluate the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation of high and low frequency and intensity, performed during hemodialysis (HD), on peripheral muscle strength, exercise capacity and muscle change and inflammation markers in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Conditions

  • Kidney Diseases
  • Chronic Kidney Diseases
  • Chronic Kidney Insufficiency
  • Chronic Renal Insufficiency
  • Chronic Renal Diseases
  • Renal Dialysis
  • Hemodialysis

Interventions

OTHER

neuromuscular electrical stimulation of high frequency and intensity

Training with neuromuscular electrical stimulation isometric form in lateral and medial bilaterally vast, three times a week, lasting an hour, the first two hours of dialysis. Will be applied using portable stimulators with 4 channels. The parameters are: frequency of 50 Hz, pulse width 400ms, rise time and 2s descent, stimulus mode on-off starting with a ratio of 1: 2 in the first week (stimulus time of 10 seconds and rest time of 20s, aiming at adaptation and mitigation of the effects of muscle fatigue), evolving from the second week to a ratio of 1:1 (stimulation time of 10 seconds and rest time of 10s). The current intensity is adjusted individually for the first application and gradually increased as the tolerance of patients. In each session there will be a warm-up period, training and slowdown. The intensity will be the maximum tolerated by the patient in order increments every session, this being monitored for further evolutionary calculating.

OTHER

neuromuscular electrical stimulation of low frequency and intensity

Training with neuromuscular electrical stimulation isometric form in lateral and medial bilaterally vast, three times a week, lasting an hour, the first two hours of dialysis. Will be applied using portable stimulators with 4 channels. The parameters are: 5 Hz frequency, time on: off 1: 3 with a pulse duration of 100ms. The current intensity is adjusted individually for the first application and it was the least noticeable by the patient. In each session there will be a warm-up period, training and slowdown.
