Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled trial. Eligible subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to a whole-body vibration (WBV) group or controlled group. Patients in a WBV group will receive WBV training three times a week before initiation of dialysis sessions for 12 weeks. The primary outcome of the study will be the change in walking performance assessed by the timed up and go test.
