Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: The study will include both male and female elderly individuals aged sixty five years and above with a score of greater than twenty four on the Mini Mental State Examination as described by Folstein in nineteen seventy five. Patients scoring between twenty one and fifty six on the Berg Balance Scale indicating mild to moderate impairment will be included. Participants will be patients with chronic kidney disease who have been receiving dialysis for at least three months with a minimum of twenty five sessions. The intervention will be delivered during the first one to two hours of ongoing dialysis and outcome measures will be assessed thirty minutes after dialysis.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Individuals who have undergone surgery or been hospitalized in the past three months will be excluded. Participants with lower limb amputations, severe balance impairments, severe visual or hearing loss, or neurological conditions such as stroke, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or multiple sclerosis will not be included. Patients with orthopedic conditions such as severe osteoarthritis or recent fractures, and those diagnosed with unstable angina, post coronary artery bypass grafting, pulmonary embolism, or myocardial infarction will also be excluded. All of these conditions are considered absolute contraindications for exercise.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. 30-Second Chair Stand 18 2.Berg Balance Scale 3. Kidney Disease and Quality of Life (KDQOL -36) 20 Timepoint: 8 WEEKS

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The secondary outcomes of the study will include changes in balance measured by the Berg Balance Scale, changes in lower limb muscle strength assessed by manual muscle testing, changes in ankle mobility assessed using goniometry, changes in quality of life assessed using the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form questionnaire, and changes in fatigue levels assessed by the Fatigue Severity Scale. All these outcomes will be measured at baseline and again after eight weeks of intervention.Timepoint: 0th week,4th week,8th week
