Intra‐Dialytic Electrostimulation of Leg Extensors May Improve Exercise Tolerance and Quality of Life in Hemodialyzed Patients

Abstract: Hemodialyzed (HD) patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) exhibit lower fitness as a consequence of chronic uremic changes that trigger various structural, metabolic, and functional abnormalities in skeletal muscles. The aim of this randomized study was to compare the effect of rehabilitation (RHB) training on a bicycle ergometer and electromyostimulation (EMS) of leg extensors in HD patients with ESRD. Thirty-two HD patients (18 men/14 women; mean age 61.1 ± 8.8 years) were randomized into three groups: … Show more

“…Consistent with our results, 12 weeks of Tex was previously reported to be effective in increasing MPQ. 6) Although the effects were not significant, after intervention in the Tex group, the subjects' balance ability (as measured by the TUG) and the endurance of the quadriceps (as measured by the CS-30) tended to increase (P=0.07). The small number of subjects in this study, as well as the relatively short intervention period and low exercise intensity, might have explained the absence of significant effects on CS-30 and TUG.…”

“…14) Furthermore, it is possible that the exercise intensity in the current study was insufficient to achieve the desired effect. In this study, we utilized the bike exercise training protocol described by Dobsak et al 6) However, the subjects had a mean age of 71.5 ± 1.6 years and an underweight body mass index of 20.5 ± 0.5. Therefore, our subjects probably had a lower muscle mass and may have been more prone to fatigue than the European subjects of the previous study.…”

“…Una menor evidencia científi ca se encuentra en relación al papel de la electroestimulación neuromuscular en el paciente renal, siendo muy limitados y escasos los estudios publicados en relación a éste tema (7)(8)(9)(10) . Merece la pena destacar un único estudio publicado a nivel nacional (8) en un grupo de 11 pacientes en programa de HD periódica que mostró una mejoría de la fuerza muscular, la capacidad funcional y la calidad de vida tras la realización de un programa de 5 semanas de duración de ejercicio físico de fuerza -resistencia asociado a electroestimulación neuromuscular de ambos cuádriceps en las sesiones de HD.…”

“…Hasta la fecha, escasos estudios acerca del papel de la EENM sobre la fuerza muscular en los pacientes en HD han sido publicados (7)(8)(9) . Por tanto, en nuestro estudio pretendemos analizar el efecto de un programa de entrenamiento físico intradiálisis combinado con EENM sobre la fuerza muscular y la capacidad funcional en nuestros pacientes en HD y analizar la seguridad, efi cacia y tolerancia de la EENM en nuestros pacientes.…”
