About

The aim of this study is to compare effect of intradialytic NMES versus resistive training on physical measures and fatigue in HDP.

Full description

In this study we will compare between the effect of intradialytic neuromuscular electrical stimulation and resistive training on physical measures, dialysis efficiency and fatigue in HDP. This is first study that will compare between NMES and resistive training in HDP, investigating their effect on physical performance; dialysis efficiency and level of fatigue as previous studies show effect of each intervention alone.
