Pedaling while dialyzing: could In-Chair exercise boost strength for kidney patients?
NCT ID NCT06883968
First seen Jul 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether a guided exercise program done during hospital hemodialysis sessions can improve physical capacity and quality of life in adults with chronic kidney disease. Participants will perform strength and balance exercises for their arms and legs while receiving dialysis. The study measures changes in mobility, mood, and overall well-being to see if exercise can counteract the muscle loss and fatigue common in long-term dialysis patients.
