Summary

The significance of this study to compare the effect of resistance exercises and relaxation therapy to find out which technique is more effective for improving physical function and quality of life in chronic kidney disease patient.

The study was aimed to determine the effect of resistance exercises and relaxation therapy on physical function and quality of life in patients with chronic kidney disease.

We hypothesized if there was significant effect of resistance exercises and relaxation therapy on physical function and quality of life in patients with chronic kidney disease.

Group A: Relaxation therapy and Resistance exercises. Group B: Resistance exercises.

Conditions

  • Chronic Kidney Disease (Mild to Moderate)

Interventions

OTHER

Resistance exercises:

The researcher taught patients this exercise and encouraged them to do it daily each once about 20 to 30 minutes. The exercise started with moderate intensity of no more than 10 minutes then time of practice increased gradually to 30 minutes. Resistance exercise included the following: Knee and hip flexion and extension, elbow extension. The repetition was be 15-20 times

OTHER

Relaxation exercise

Relaxation exercise (diaphragmatic breathing, pursed lip breathing) Diaphragmatic breathing is intended to help patient use the diaphragm correctly while breathing to strengthen the diaphragm and decrease the work of breathing. Patient was instructed to sit comfortably with the knees bent and the shoulders, head and neck relaxed. Breathe in slowly through the nose so that the stomach moves out against the hand. Then exhaled through pursed lib technique so that stomach moves in again. Patients was instructed to place one hand on the upper chest and the other just below the rib cage. This was allowing patient to feel the diaphragm move as he or she breathe. Patients was instructed to practice this exercise 5-10 minutes about 3-4 times per day.
