Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Patients aged 18 years or older undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. Patients receiving hemodialysis sessions for a minimum duration of 3 months. Patients who are clinically stable as cleared by their primary nephrologist. Patients able to comprehend and communicate in the local vernacular language or English. Patients who provide written informed consent to participate in the study.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patients with acute medical or cardiovascular complications (e.g., unstable angina, recent myocardial infarction) within the past 3 months. Patients with severe cognitive impairments or psychiatric conditions that prevent reliable self-reporting. Patients with severe, pre-existing musculoskeletal or neurological deficits that completely restrict physical mobility independent of dialysis status. Patients unwilling to provide written consent.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary outcome evaluates the tracking of physical activity patterns in patients on maintenance hemodialysis. The scale will be administered at baseline to establish initial activity levels. Follow up assessments will be conducted at four weeks and eight weeks to estimate the stability consistency and clinical utility of the assessment tool over an eight week observation period.Timepoint: Baseline four weeks and eight weeks

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Test-Retest Reliability of the dialysis specifc physical activity scale DAPA-PA Scale.Timepoint: 7 to 14 days following initial scale administration;Concurrent Validity using the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT).Timepoint: Phase 3 clinical testing session cross sectional evaluation, approximately 4 6 months from study initiation
