“…However, there was no difference when compared between the intervention groups. The result of the functional capacity test performed at the end, compared to the initial result, showed that both active and passive stretching improved the functional capacity of the participants, and there was no difference in the control group (15) .…”

“…In addition, stretching can be practiced by individuals with any physical and functional profile, even in extreme cases such as amputees. It has been shown that this form of exercise can also help with glycemic control (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18) . The objective of this study was to determine whether active static stretching would reduce the blood glucose levels of diabetic individuals and whether different time protocols would have an influence on the outcome.…”

Background: Type 2 diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic disease whose prevalence is increasing worldwide. It is characterized by insulin resistance in insulin-dependent tissues (e.g. skeletal muscle, adipose tissue). Despite new evidence that stretching may aid in glycemic control, this form of physical exercise remains underutilized in the therapy of T2DM. Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of active static stretching on the glycemia of individuals with T2DM. Methods: Twenty-nine volunteers participated in the study, divided into 3 randomly assigned groups: 30-second stretching group (GA30) with 10 participants; 45-second stretching group (GA45) with 10 participants; control group (CG) with 9 participants. Results: Analysis of the intervention groups versus the control group showed that the intervention groups GA30 and GA45 had a significant milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) reduction in glycemia compared to the control group (control Δ-7.9mg/dl, GA30 Δ12.7mg/dl and GA45 Δ18.5mg/dl >0.001) and between intervention groups (GA30 and control Δ 20.5mg/dl, P 0.002), GA45 and control (Δ 26.4mg/dl, P 0.001). There was no difference between the intervention groups. The results suggest that, regardless of the application time, active static stretching reduces glycemia in individuals with T2DM. In an analysis divided into 4 stages (1st and 2nd weeks, 3rd and 4th weeks, 5th and 6th weeks, and 7th and 8th weeks), the results obtained from the glycemic difference before and after each two weeks were as follows: GA30 pre and post (1st ≠ 17.4 mg/dl, 2nd ≠ 5.8 mg/dl, 3rd ≠ 14.5 mg/dl, and 4th ≠ 8.9 mg/dl), GA45 pre and post (1st ≠ 18.1 mg/dl, 2nd ≠ 17.0 mg/dl, 3rd ≠ 19.2 mg/dl, and 4th ≠ 20.0 mg/dl), and CG pre and post (1st ≠ -10.4 mg/dl, 2nd ≠ -3.7 mg/dl, 3rd ≠ -11.4 mg/dl, and 4th ≠ -11.7 mg/dl). Conclusion: This interaction between the two-factor period (Group and Period) did not have a significant effect. Finally, a descriptive analysis of pre- and post-intervention glucose behavior showed the variability of glycemia during the period. Thus, active static stretching significantly reduces acute and chronic glycemia in individuals with T2DM compared to control.

“…Chronic kidney disease, also known as chronic renal failure, is an irreversible and progressive loss of functioning renal tissue that occurs when the remaining kidney mass can no longer maintain the body's internal environment. 1 Renal failure is the result of end stage renal disease when the remaining kidney mass can no longer maintain the body's internal environment. Chronic renal disease can take years to develop.…”

“…Exercise significantly reduced the severity and frequency of leg muscular cramps, according to the findings. 8 In 2014, at the Shahrekord and Borujen hospitals, I conducted a study to see how isotonic exercise affected the frequency of muscle cramps. A clinical investigation involving 60 hemodialysis patients was conducted.…”

Background: Kidney is a vital organ and the main function is to remove waste products and excess water from the blood. Different kidney pathogenesis challenges the function of human body and puts human life danger. Two such important pathogenesis is acute and chronic renal failure. The incidence of acute renal failure has been estimated to be 209 patients per million populations per year and 37% of patients treated in intensive care units. Muscle cramps also can occur when patients are below dry weight. The severe muscle cramping experienced near the end of the hemodialysis treatment and persisting for a time after hemodialysis often is due to dehydration. Treatment for cramping varies from unit to unit. When patients are having cramping and have low blood pressure, the staff may give normal saline. Aim of the study: The main aim of the study to assess effectiveness of isotonic exercise on muscle cramps among hemodialysis patients. Methods: Quantitative research design was adopted for the study with 60 samples which met the inclusion criteria were selected by convenience sampling technique. Demographic variables data were collected by using a multiple-choice questionnaire followed by Pretest was conducted by using muscle cramp assessment tool for both experimental group and control group. Isotonic exercise was given 10 to 15 minutes at one session for experimental group Post test was conducted by using muscle cramps assessment tool and for both experimental group and control group. Result: Out of 60 samples, The calculated student Independent ‘t’ test value of t = 2.500 was found to be statistically highly significant at p<0.05 level. This clearly infers that isotonic exercise on muscle cramps administered to hemodialysis patients in the experimental group was found to be effective in reducing the level of muscle cramps in the post test than the hemodialysis patients in the control group. Conclusion: There was a significant improvement in reduction of muscle cramps those who received isotonic exercise intervention than those who do not receive the isotonic exercise.

Background: Hemodialysis is an ongoing process where patients experience complications such as hypotension, muscle cramps, fatigue and nausea during the procedure. Aim: To evaluate the effect of implementing intradialytic hemodialysis exercises program on fatigue and leg cramps. Subjects and methods: Pre/posttest was utilized in this study. it was conducted in dialysis unit at Sohag University Hospital, A sample of 60 patients who undergoing hemodialysis with fistula (peripheral vascular access), with age 18-65 years old. four tools were used: Tool(I): Structured Interview Questionnaire sheet, Tool (II):Cramp questionnaire chart and visual analogue scale : Pre/post test (after 2 months) Tool (III) : Fatigue severity scale and Tool (IV): Intradialytic exercise. Results. The mean age of the patients was 43.80± 12.089(range 18-65). More than half of patients (58.3%) experienced muscle cramps in both the legs. As regard muscle involved in cramps, majority of patients(83.3 %) experienced muscle cramps in gastrocnemius muscle. Conclusion: The findings of the study revealed that there were statistical significance differences as regard cramps questionnaire chart, visual analogue scale and fatigue severity scale pre &post intradialytic exercises. Recommendations: Intradialytic exercises can be adapted as a procedure to the patients undergoing hemodialysis.
