Ventilatory Functions and Physical Intolerance in ESRD Adolescents: Response to Program of Walking With Dogs

adolescents with chronic renal failure going on hemodialysis usually complain many problems including compromised ventilation, early fatigue, early physical intolerance, and bad life quality. incentive spirometer is highly recommended to improve these problems. also, walking program, especially walking with dog, can increase the benefits of incentive spirometer

About this study

End stage renal diseased adolescents (numbering forty) will be grouped randomly to two random groups, twenty adolescents in group I or group II. Both groups will trained by incentive spirometer 30 min during the sessions of dialysis three applications weekly for 12 weeks. Group I will additionally walked freely with a dog 30 min three times weekly (in opposite days of hemodialysis). The duration of this trial will be 12 weeks.

Primary outcomes

  1. six minute walk testing

    Time frame: it will be measured after 12 weeks

    it is a physical capacity measure

Secondary outcomes

  1. forced vital capacity

    Time frame: it will be measured after 12 weeks

    it is a pulmonary function test

  2. forced expiratory volume at first second

    Time frame: it will be measured after 12 weeks

    it is a pulmonary function test

  3. maximal inspiratory pressure

    Time frame: it will be measured after 12 weeks
