ABSTRACT

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD), is a irreversible decline in renal function that usually develops over the years. With its high prevalence, morbidity and mortality, is an important public health problem. Several issues contribute to increase in number of same in India. There are limited exercise guidelines on the optimal type, frequency, intensity, and duration of physical activity to prevent chronic kidney disease. There is a need to study whether physiotherapy interventions can improve cardiorespiratory fitness, reduce or prevent muscle wasting, make patients with chronic illness more independent in activities of daily living, and improve quality of life during or even before dialysis.

Purpose of the study: To study the feasibility of physiotherapy treatment on functional capacity in chronic kidney disease patients.

Results: The results were statistically significant with respect to all the outcome measures. Results showed improvement in all the outcome parameters and significant improvement was seen in 2-minute step test,1-min sit to stand test, and Fatigue severity scale.

Conclusion: Based on results obtained it proves that exercises significantly improved patients exercise/functional capacity (muscular strength and aerobic endurance), quality of life, number of steps in 2-minute duration as well as number of repetitions of sit to stand in 1 minute duration and also decrease in experimental group.

KEYWORDS: Chronic kidney disease, Exercise therapy, Rehabilitation, Post-dialysis physical therapy.
