Brief Summary

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

To show the effect of whole-body vibration in physical performance in patients with renal dialysis.

Detailed Description

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

By now, safety and efficacy of WBV has not been investigated in patients with ESRD. Therefore, we performed this exploratory study in hemodialysis patients in order to elucidate potential effects of whole-body vibration exercise on physical performance and various biochemical markers in this condition. WBV is extensively studied as a means to prevent microgravity and immobility associated muscle wasting and bone loss in space flight and it is getting increasingly popular even among elderly.

Whole-body vibration exercise (WBVE) is a novel exercise protocol designed to prevent the loss of muscle strength and bone mineralization during the immobility and weightlessness of space flight.

A situation similar to HD. Vibration exercise uses high-frequency vibration of muscle groups causing positive feedback of the spinal reflex arc and resulting in high levels of muscle contraction to motor unit recruitment. There can be multiple physiological benefits from vibration exercise, including cardiovascular effects, bone health and muscle strength.

The advantages of WBV result from the combination of hardly any physical stress for the participants, short duration of intervention and a comparatively high effectiveness. means of exercise that can also be offered to those patients unable or unwilling to perform conventional training.

Study Groups

whole body vibration group

Thirty male patients will receive whole body vibration twice / week for 12 weeks with duration from 30 to 60secound until reach 20 minutes and intensity begin from initially 5 HZ until reach 28 HZ gradually increase each 4 weeks in addition to medication (Red Blood Cell Stimulating Agents, Iron, Blood Pressure Medications, Phosphate Binders, Vitamins B and C, Calcitriol, Cinacalcet and Antibiotics).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention Type DEVICE

Whole-body vibration (WBV) is a training method that uses mechanical vibration and external resistance loading to stimulate the body, causing muscle vibration and increasing central nervous system adaptations (Rittweger, 2010).

control group

Thirty male patients will receive their own medication only (Red Blood Cell Stimulating Agents, Iron, Blood Pressure Medications, Phosphate Binders, Vitamins B and C, Calcitriol, Cinacalcet and Antibiotics).
