Summary

This study looked at whether doing specific exercises during dialysis sessions can improve how well people with chronic kidney disease function in daily life. Fifty-six adults on maintenance hemodialysis were split into groups doing lumbar stabilization exercises, breathing muscle training, or usual care. The goal was to see if these in-chair workouts could boost mobility and independence.
