Virtual Reality Exercise Intradialysis: Tolerance and Dialysis Dose Effects During the Last vs. First Part of the Hemodialysis Session
The main objective of this investigation is to assess if an intradialysis virtual reality exercise program during the last two hours of the hemodialysis session results in greater hemodynamic stability than exercise performed during the first two hours of the hemodialysis session. The secondary aims are to assess the impact of intradialysis virtual reality exercise during the last two hours of the hemodialysis session on dialysis efficacy, postdialysis molecules rebound, adherence to exercise, functional capacity, physical activity level, health-related quality of life, cognitive function, morbidity, frailty and dependency. We will also analyze the reliability of muscle strength assessment of lower limb muscles with a handheld dynamometer during hemodialysis.
• At least 3 months in hemodialysis treatment
• Clinically stable
