Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study was to assess the handgrip strength; fine motor skills; and hand sensitivity of Brazilian children and adolescents with Chronic Kidney Diseases (CKD). The sample was composed by 42 children and adolescents, 21 on hemodialysis (group A) and the other 21 acted as the control group (group B). The performance of both groups was compared. The outcome measures included Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test, the Semmes Weinstein monofilaments test and Jamar Dynamometer.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group A

Group composed of 21 children and adolescents aged between 9 and 19 years old, treated by hemodialysis in two hospitals of Belo Horizonte. Just in case of some evidence of difference in the results within group A, because of the two types of dialysis (via fistula or catheter), this group can be subdivided in subgroups A1 (n=10) and A2 (n=11), respectively.

Group A was already on hemodialysis, the intervention was not performed by the researcher. Our goal was only to evaluate some characteristics of these individuals.

No interventions assigned to this group

Group B

Group composed of 21 children and adolescents matching age and gender for the Group A participants. The individuals were recruited in schools of Belo Horizonte.

No interventions assigned to this group
