An interventional study of core Stability exercise and Breathing exercises in Hemodialysis, sponsored by Beni-Suef University. Recruiting at 1 site in Egypt. Open to participants aged 55 Years to 70 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-05-02.
Sponsored by Beni-Suef University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Finding the effect of core stability exercises with breathing exercises on Activities of daily living (ADLs), fatigue level and balance in maintenance hemodialysis patients.
Sixty patients will be randomly assigned into two equal groups, the experimental (EX) group and the control group (CON). The participants' age will be 50-65 years and undergo hemodialysis. The Ex-group will attend three sessions/week of core stability exercise training (CSE) combined with Deep Breathing (25:30-min) for 8 weeks, the CON will attend 3 sessions/week of Deep Breathing (15-min) for 8 weeks. All the patients received only routine hemodialysis department care.
Beni-Suef University is the lead sponsor of 333 studies on the registry; 116 are open to participants now.

Exclusion Criteria:
30 hemodialysis patient
Other: core Stability exercise · Other: Breathing exercises
30 hemodialysis patient
Other: Breathing exercises
core stability exercise training
Deep breathing and diaphragmatic breathing exercises
Activities of Daily Livings (ADLs)
ADLs will be assessed by Barthel Index (BI)
Time frame: up to 8 weeks
Fatigue
Fatigue will be assessed by fatigue assessment scale. The total score ranges from 10 to 50. A total score \< 22 indicates no fatigue, a score ≥ 22 indicates fatigue.
Time frame: up to 8 weeks
Balance
Balance will be assessed by berg balance scale, the balance score ranges from 0 to 56, with lower scores indicating increased risk of balance loss and higher scores indicating improved functional mobility. Time up and go test (TUG)n Score \< 10 seconds = normal \< 20 seconds = good mobility; can walk outside alone; does not require a walking aid \< 30 seconds = walking and balance problems; cannot walk outside alone; requires walking aid.
Time frame: up to 8 weeks
