Brief summary

Evaluate the effectiveness of a Whole body vibration training program on quadriceps muscle strength, functional capacity and respiratory muscle strength in adult renal transplant recipients

Detailed description

The study will be a randomized controlled clinical trial involving adult renal transplant recipients, who will be recruited through eligibility criteria at Nephrology outpatient clinics of the Kidney Transplantation Centers of the Hospital das Clínicas of the Federal University of Pernambuco (HC-UFPE). Individuals will be randomized and assigned to one of the following groups: Platform Group, which will perform 12-week whole body vibration training or Platform SHAM Group that will receive treatment without the therapeutic effect of the platform. Afterwards, the patients will be submitted to an evaluation, a form with sociodemographic data, the clinical history of the disease and the laboratory tests will be completed, after which the pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength, quadriceps muscle strength and thickness, postural balance , Functional capacity, quality of life, risk of falls and level of physical activity.

Interventions

Whole body vibration training will consist of 12 consecutive weeks with two sessions per week on alternate days. Initially, before training with the vibratory platform, stretches lasting 5 to 10 minutes will be performed, with a series of 60 seconds for each of the following muscle groups: pectorals, sternocleidomastoids, scalenes, quadriceps and ischiatibial muscles. Patients will be monitored through vital signs for follow-up.

OTHERPlatform sham

will receive the treatment without the therapeutic effect of the platform, but with vibrating platform connected with the display lit and a sound device coupled with a noise recording generated by the vibration, but without therapeutic purposes.
