Does intradialytic exercise improve physical function, depression and quality of life in haemodialysis patients?
Intradialytic exercise (30 mins/session, 3x/week for ≥8 weeks) is a beneficial therapeutic modality for managing hemodialysis patients.
Supports routine intradialytic exercise in hemodialysis care; confirms pooled benefits on function, depression, and QoL.
This study suggests that performing intradialytic exercises for 30 minutes per session three times a week for at least ≥8 weeks is beneficial. Regular exercise should be considered as a crucial therapeutic modality of managing patients undergoing haemodialysis, thus guiding in clinical practice.
