Clinical Trial Summary

Finding the effect of core stability exercises with breathing exercises on Activities of daily living (ADLs), fatigue level and balance in maintenance hemodialysis patients.

Description:

Sixty patients will be randomly assigned into two equal groups, the experimental (EX) group and the control group (CON). The participants' age will be 50-65 years and undergo hemodialysis. The Ex-group will attend three sessions/week of core stability exercise training (CSE) combined with Deep Breathing (25:30-min) for 8 weeks, the CON will attend 3 sessions/week of Deep Breathing (15-min) for 8 weeks. All the patients received only routine hemodialysis department care.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Activities of Daily Livings (ADLs)	ADLs will be assessed by Barthel Index (BI)	up to 8 weeks
Primary	Fatigue	Fatigue will be assessed by fatigue assessment scale. The total score ranges from 10 to 50. A total score < 22 indicates no fatigue, a score = 22 indicates fatigue.	up to 8 weeks
Primary	Balance	Balance will be assessed by berg balance scale, the balance score ranges from 0 to 56, with lower scores indicating increased risk of balance loss and higher scores indicating improved functional mobility. Time up and go test (TUG)n Score < 10 seconds = normal < 20 seconds = good mobility; can walk outside alone; does not require a walking aid < 30 seconds = walking and balance problems; cannot walk outside alone; requires walking aid.	up to 8 weeks
