Summary

o Sixty-nine adult patients from both sexes. They were suffering from ESRD on maintenance hemodialysis, their age ranged from50-60 years old were selected from hemodialysis unit at Itay El Baroud central hospital. They were referred by the physician.

Conditions

  • Hemodialytic Patients

Interventions

DEVICE

Aerobic exercises

Foot pedal exerciser: * Simple horizontal foot pedal exerciser used during hemodialysis sessions. * Dual pedals with non-slip straps for foot stability. * Manual resistance adjustment via a single control knob (non-electric). * Provides gradual increase in workload intensity. * Compact and light weight design suitable for use while lying on the dialysis bed. * Enables controlled, low-impact circular movement of the feet. * Aims to improve circulation and strengthen lower limb muscles without requiring active sitting. * Approximate device dimensions: 50 cm (length) x 40 cm (width) x 23 cm (height). * Maximum recommended user weight: 70 kg.

OTHER

Open kinetic chain active free range of motion

Participants completed the 30-min aerobic exercise sessions during the first 2 hrs. of each dialysis session, 3 times per week for 8 weeks, using a simulated bike riding. Patients will perform active free exercise for upper limb (the arm that hasn't shunt) and lower limbs. Each exercise session consisted of three phases: warm up, conditioning, and cool down.

OTHER

No intervention

the control group will receive only the standard medical care provided by dialysis center without any physical therapy intervention
