Reliability of Functional Measures in Hemodialysis Patient.

End Stage Renal Disease Clinical Trial

Official title: Test-retest Reliability and Minimal Detectable Change Scores for the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), One Leg Balance and Timed up and go.

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators pretend to calculate values absolute and relative reliability that have not been yet reported (Short Physical Performance Battery, one-leg balance and Timed Up and go).

Clinical Trial Description

Patients suffering from End Stage Renal Disease are commonly involved in haemodialysis treatment, which is the most common treatment at this stage. Haemodialysis substitutes the renal function but is associated with several alterations that lead to decrease in functional capacity and health related quality of life (HRQoL). Many studies show that functional capacity, physical activity level and HRQoL is significantly worse than their healthy sedentary age - matched counterparts. It is unknown if low physical activity, uraemia or anaemia are responsible for the decreased functional capacity of this cohort. Physical performance tests are frequently used to assess haemodialysis patients since is a feasible and low-cost evaluation. The purpose of the present study is quantified how the functional capacity changes over a -6 months period in a group of haemodialysis patients. Additionally the investigators pretend to calculate values absolute and relative reliability that have not been yet reported (Short Physical Performance Battery, one-leg balance and Timed Up and go). ;
