Abstract

Background: Hemodialysis patients with end-stage renal disease (ESR) havelower physical, emotional, and cognitive functions than healthy people of thesame age due to their inactive lifestyles and treatment approaches. This studyaimed to investigate the effects of selected core stability exercises on the dialysisquality and muscular strength of male hemodialysis patients.Methods: In this quasi–experimental study, 30 male hemodialysis patients(age: 62.24±6.51 years; history of dialysis: 9.4±18.44 months) were selectedby convenience sampling and assigned into experimental (n=15) and control(n=15) groups. The quality of dialysis and muscular strength of the subjects wereassessed by blood sampling before and after dialysis and 5× sit-to-stand tests,respectively. A core stability exercise program was performed for 6 weeks, 3sessions per week, 45 minute per session.Results: Data analysis showed that there was no significant difference in thequality of dialysis between the experimental and control groups (P=0.485), buta significant difference was observed in muscular strength between the twogroups (P=0.001). Exercise has a significant effect on the variable.Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, core stability exercises can berecommended to male hemodialysis patients as a safe and practical strategy forimproving their muscular strength and quality of life.
