Abstract
PURPOSE Reviewing systematically the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated aerobic exercisealone vs. usual care in exercise tolerance, functional capacity, and quality of life (QoL) in patients withpre-dialysis. METHODS Searches in the MEDLINE, Cochrane CENTRAL, EMBASE, PEDro, and LILACS databases untilFebruary 2021 included RCTs that evaluated the effects of aerobic exercise on peak VO2, functional capacity,lower limb muscle strength, and QoL. The random effect meta-analysis model was used andreported as mean difference (MD) and 95% confidence interval (CI), risk of bias through RoB2.0 and thequality of evidence by GRADE. RESULTS 10 RCTs, with 365 patients. Aerobic exercise increased 2.07 ml/kg/min (95% CI = 1.16 to 2.98; I2= 24%, QoE moderate) at peak VO2; 77.78m (95% CI= 33.27 to 122.30; I2= 44.5%, QoE moderate) in the 6MWT and 7.65 repetitions (95% CI= 5.73 to 9.58; I2= 0 %; QoE moderate) in STS-30 versus usual care. In QoL, studies reported improvements in the questionnaire scores. Eu.2 = 24%, QoE moderado) no pico de VO2; 77,78 m (IC95% = 33,27-122,30; Eu.2 = 44,5%, QoE moderado) nas repetições 6MWT e 7,65 (IC95% = 5,73-9,58; Eu.2 = 0%; QoE moderado) em STS-30". CONCLUSION Aerobic exercise increases VO2 peak, functional capacity and lower limb muscle strength in patients with pre-dialysis. Effects on QoL appear to be beneficial.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONAerobic exercise should be encouraged in the rehabilitation of patients at any stage of chronic kidney disease.Aerobic exercise promotes improved exercise tolerance, functional capacity, and muscle strength of the lower limbs.There is some evidence to show it is beneficial to improve the quality of life.

The reliability and validity of the 30-seconds sit-to-stand test and its capacity for assessment of the functional status of hemodialysis patients. J Bodyw Mov Ther 2021; 27:157-164. [PMID: 34391227 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbmt.2021.02.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2020] [Revised: 01/18/2021] [Accepted: 02/28/2021] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the validity of the 30-seconds sit-to-stand test (STS-30) and its reliability in hemodialysis patients. METHODS Patients receiving hemodialysis treatment three times a week for at least six months were evaluated using STS-30, Incremental Shuttle Walking Test, and health-related quality of life by KDQOL-SF questionnaire. The data obtained from the Incremental Shuttle Walking Test were divided into tertiles, and the STS-30 results were compared among tertiles. The accuracy of the STS-30 to identify low exercise capacity was evaluated. A second STS-30 was performed after 6 to 8-weeks for the reliability analyses using Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC). Minimal detectable change scores were calculated. RESULTS Sixty-three individuals (66.7% men) aged 48.3 years (95%CI 44.6-51.9) were evaluated. There were significant correlations between STS-30, exercise capacity (r = 0.72), and physical domains of health-related quality of life (0.30 ≤ r ≤ 0.51). Tertile 1 of the Incremental Shuttle Walking Test was different from tertiles 2 and 3 for STS-30 [difference of 3.4 repetitions (95%CI 1.5-5.4) and 4.7 repetitions (95%CI 2.8-6.7), respectively]. The value of 12 repetitions was the cut-off points for stratification of individuals with low exercise capacity. The STS-30 had a high test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.93) and the minimal detectable change was 2.1 repetitions. CONCLUSION The STS-30 is a reliable test, associated with exercise capacity and physical domains of health-related quality of life. Thus, is a valid method for functional evaluation in hemodialysis patients.

[PMID: 31122717 DOI: 10.1016/j.bjpt.2019.04.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2018] [Revised: 03/01/2019] [Accepted: 04/16/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease is a complex disease that impacts multiple organs and systems (including musculoskeletal and cardiorespiratory) leading to reduction of functional capacity. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a short period of high intensity inspiratory muscle training on maximum inspiratory pressure, functional capacity and endothelial function of chronic kidney disease patients on hemodialysis. METHODS This randomized controlled trial enrolled 25 patients who were allocated into two groups: intervention (IMTG=14) and control (CG=11) groups. Intervention patients received the exercise protocol over a period of 5 weeks, 6 times per week, with each session consisting of 5 sets of 10 repetitions with an initial load of 50% progressing to 70% of maximum inspiratory pressure , measured weekly. The primary outcome was inspiratory muscle strength and the secondary outcomes were functional capacity and endothelial function evaluated before and after the training protocol. RESULTS The inspiratory muscle training induced a marked improvement in maximum inspiratory pressure which was evident after the training period (mean difference 19.0cmH2O - 95%CI 0.4-37.5; IMTG: 102±25.7cmH2O vs CG: 83±19.2; p=0.046). The magnitude of maximum inspiratory pressure improvement was 33.5% at the end of the protocol for the IMTG. Functional capacity and endothelial function did not vary between or within groups. CONCLUSION A short period of high-intensity inspiratory muscle training for five weeks was able to improve inspiratory muscle strength of chronic kidney disease patients on hemodialysis (ClinicalTrials.gov registration NCT03082404).

Abstract
The renal damage and loss of kidney function that characterize chronic kidney disease (CKD) cause several complex systemic alterations that affect muscular homeostasis, leading to loss of muscle mass and, ultimately, to muscle atrophy. CKD-induced muscle atrophy is highly prevalent and, in association with common CKD comorbidities, is responsible for the reduction of physical capacity, functional independence, and an increase in the number of hospitalizations and mortality rates. Thus, this chapter summarizes current knowledge about the complex interactions between CKD factors and the pathophysiological mechanisms that induce muscle atrophy that, despite growing interest, are not yet fully understood. The current treatments of CKD-induced muscle atrophy are multidisciplinary, including correction of metabolic acidosis, nutritional supplementation, reducing insulin resistance, administration of androgenic steroids, resisted and aerobic exercise, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, and inspiratory muscle training. However, further studies are still needed to strengthen the comprehension of CKD-induced muscle atrophy and the better treatment strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and obesity can decrease the patients' cardiopulmonary capacity, physical functioning and quality of life. The search for effective and practical alternative methods of exercise to engage patients in training programs is of great importance. Therefore, we aimed to compare the effects of home-based versus center-based aerobic exercise on the cardiopulmonary and functional capacities, quality of life and quality of sleep of overweight non-dialysis-dependent patients with CKD (NDD-CKD). METHODS Forty sedentary overweight patients CKD stages 3 and 4 were randomly assigned to an exercise group [home-based group (n = 12) or center-based exercise group (n = 13)] or to a control group (n = 15) that did not perform any exercise. Cardiopulmonary exercise test, functional capacity tests, quality of life, quality of sleep and clinical parameters were assessed at baseline, 12 and 24 weeks. RESULTS The VO2peak and all cardiopulmonary parameters evaluated were similarly improved (p < 0.05) after 12 and 24 weeks in both exercise groups. The functional capacity tests improved during the follow-up in the home-based group (p < 0.05) and reached values similar to those obtained in the center-based group. The benefits achieved in both exercise groups were also reflected in improvement of quality of life and sleep (p < 0.05). No differences were observed between the exercise groups, and no changes in any of the parameters investigated were found in the control group. CONCLUSION Home-based aerobic training was as effective as center-based training in improving the physical and functional capabilities, quality of life and sleep in overweight NDD-CKD patients.

Abstract
Introduction Inspiratory muscle function may be affected in patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), further worsening the functional loss in these individuals. However, the impact of inspiratory muscle weakness (IMW) on the functional capacity (FC) of hemodialysis patients remains unknown. Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate the impact of IMW on FC in ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis. Materials and methods ESRD patients on hemodialysis treatment for more than six months were evaluated for inspiratory muscle strength and FC. Inspiratory muscle strength was evaluated based on maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP). IMW was defined as MIP values less than 70% of the predicted value. FC was evaluated using the Incremental Shuttle Walk test (ISWT). Patients whose predicted peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) over the distance walked during the ISWT was less than 16mL/kg/min were considered to have FC impairment. Associations between variables were assessed by linear and logistic regression, with adjustment for age, sex, body mass index (BMI), presence of diabetes and hemoglobin level. Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to determine different cutoff values of the MIP for normal inspiratory muscle strength and FC. Results Sixty-five ERSD patients (67.7% male), aged 48.2 (44.5–51.9) years were evaluated. MIP was an independent predictor of the distance walked during the ISWT (R2 = 0.44). IMW was an independent predictor of VO2peak < 16mL/kg/min. (OR = 5.7; p = 0.048) in adjusted logistic regression models. ROC curves showed that the MIP cutoff value of 82cmH2O had a sensitivity of 73.5% and specificity of 93.7% in predicting normal inspiratory strength and a sensitivity and specificity of 76.3% and 70.4%, respectively, in predicting VO2peak ≥ 16mL/kg/min. Conclusions IMW is associated with reduced FC in hemodialysis patients. Evaluation of the MIP may be important to functional monitoring in clinical practice and can help in the stratification of patients eligible to perform exercise testing.

Abstract
Abstract Introduction: Individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing hemodialysis (HD) present low cardiorespiratory fitness and functional capacity. Metabolic changes, due to the disease, can result in a variety of pathophysiological conditions that favor the development of respiratory muscle weakness. However, very little is known about the performance of the respiratory muscles and the influence of HD on them. Aim: To evaluate and correlate pulmonary function, functional capacity and respiratory muscle strength in patients with CKD undergoing HD. Methods: Cross-sectional study comprising 23 patients with CKD, that met the following inclusion criteria: patients of both genders, who perform HD three times a week for a minimum period of three months. Respiratory muscle strength was evaluated using a respiratory pressure meter, lung function through spirometry and functional capacity through the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) before the HD session. Results: All patients were male and mean age was 50.2 ± 15.8 years. The median duration of HD was 3 (1.5 to 6.0) years. The mean values obtained in comparison to those predicted were MIP% 36.0 ± 13.6, MEP% 49.5 ± 15.8, FVC% 93.8 ± 21.1, FEV1% 93.7 ± 21.1, FVC/VEF1% 104.1 ± 10.3, and 6MWT% 66.33 ± 20.53. A statistically significant positive correlation was observed between the 6MWT and MIP (r = .63, p =.001) and MEP (r = .67, p < .001), between the MIP and MEP (r =.79, p < .001) and between the FEV1 and FVC (r = .91, p < .001). Conclusion: Patients with CKD undergoing HD present changes in respiratory muscle strength, with the predicted values decreasing for age and gender, as well as the distance covered in the 6MWT, although, with normal spirometric values. Functional capacity was dependent on respiratory muscle strength, as well as the values of MIP and MEP, and the values of FVC and FEV1.

Abstract
INTRODUÇÃO: O exercício físico em nefropatas submetidos à hemodiálise se faz importante, uma vez que esses pacientes apresentam acentuada redução da funcionalidade e do condicionamento, o que interfere negativamente na qualidade de vida. Contudo, os benefícios, o tipo de exercício mais adequado e parâmetros como intensidade, frequência e duração não estão bem esclarecidos para essa população. OBJETIVOS: Realizar uma revisão de literatura sobre a influência do exercício físico em pacientes renais crônicos submetidos à hemodiálise. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Foram realizadas buscas nas bases MEDLINE, LILACS, PEDro, SciELO e PubMed, sendo selecionados artigos (ensaios clínicos controlados randomizados, séries de casos e estudos de caso) nos idiomas inglês e português, publicados entre 2000 e 2010. RESULTADOS: Foram encontrados 105 artigos, sendo 82 da base de dados PubMed, 16 da base PEDro e 7 da base SciELO. Não foram encontrados artigos nas bases MEDLINE e LILACS. Desses, apenas sete preenchiam aos critérios de inclusão. A partir desses sete artigos, realizou-se busca manual ativa na lista de referências dessas publicações, nas quais foi possível verificar a presença de apenas três referências. CONCLUSÃO: Pôde-se concluir, por meio dos artigos revisados, que os exercícios físicos, seja aeróbico e/ou de resistência, possuem efeitos incrementais na capacidade funcional, função muscular e qualidade de vida de nefropatas submetidos à hemodiálise. Portanto, o treinamento físico deve ser considerado como uma modalidade terapêutica importante, sendo fundamental a inserção do fisioterapeuta nos centros dialíticos, fazendo parte de uma equipe multidisciplinar.
