The study found that twice-weekly ROM exercises have positive effects on improving dialysis adequacy and quality of life for patients undergoing hemodialysis, particularly in improving ureum retention ratio and Kt/V values. Future research should further evaluate the role of ROM exercises in dialysis care.
The study aimed to determine the effects of giving range of motion (ROM) twice a week as a form intradialytic exercise on patients' dialysis adequacy and quality of life. A total of 48 eligible participants were recruited and completed this study. The intervention group (n = 24) received twice a week ROM exercise over a 4 weeks period. The outcomes were assessed at pretest and at the end of the intervention. The study shows that ROM exercise was effective in improving dialyis adequacy that include ureum retention ratio (p= 0.027) and Kt/V (p= 0.017). Quality of life improved significantly particularly in the domains of symptom and effect of kidney disease. Integrating ROM into dialysis care shows as a potential intervention to improve dialysis adequacy and quality of life for patients undergoing hemodialysis. Future research should evaluate its efficacy using a randomized clinical trial design and larger sample of patients.
