Official title
Fatigue, Ventilatory Functions, Physical Intolerance, and Life Quality in ESRD Adolescents: Response to Program of Walking With Dogs
Overview
adolescents with chronic renal failure going on hemodialysis usually complain many problems including compromised ventilation, early fatigue, early physical intolerance, and bad life quality. incentive spirometer is highly recommended to improve these problems. also, walking program, especially walking with dog, can increase the benefits of incentive spirometer
Detailed description
End stage renal diseased adolescents (numbering forty) will be grouped randomly to two random groups, twenty adolescents in group I or group II. Both groups will trained by incentive spirometer 30 min during the sessions of dialysis three applications weekly for 12 weeks. Group I will additionally walked freely with a dog 30 min three times weekly (in opposite days of hemodialysis). The duration of this trial will be 12 weeks.
Interventions
- Other incentive spirometer and walking with dog
End stage renal diseased adolescents (numbering twenty) will trained by incentive spirometer 30 min during the sessions of dialysis three applications weekly for 12 weeks. they will additionally walked freely with a dog 30 min three times weekly (in opposite days of hemodialysis). The duration of this trial will be 12 weeks. - Other training by incentive spirometer only
End stage renal diseased adolescents (numbering twenty) will trained by incentive spirometer 30 min during the sessions of dialysis three applications weekly for 12 weeks.
Primary outcome measures
- six minute walk testing [Time frame: it will be measured after 12 weeks]
Secondary outcome measures (6)
- forced vital capacity [Time frame: it will be measured after 12 weeks]
- forced expiratory volume at first second [Time frame: it will be measured after 12 weeks]
- maximal inspiratory pressure [Time frame: it will be measured after 12 weeks]
- child health questionnaire (physical summary) [Time frame: it will be measured after 12 weeks]
- child health questionnaire (mental summary) [Time frame: it will be measured after 12 weeks]
- fatigue symptoms inventory [Time frame: it will be measured after 12 weeks]
