Key result
Physical activity effects on muscle cramp pain in hemodialysis patients remain unreported.
Why the study?
Physical weakness and low physical endurance in chronic kidney failure patients contribute to muscle cramps, and exercise using the legs may improve cramps and quality of life.
Leg exercise may ease cramps in hemodialysis patients; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation before practice change.
Due to the physical weakness and low level of physical endurance in chronic kidney failure patients and also because most patients are dialyzed through the veins of the hand, exercise using the legs is the best option for improving muscle cramps and improving their quality of life. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the effect of physical activity on muscle cramps in patients referred to the hemodialysis department. The current study is a semi-experimental type and the sample size
