Study summary

This study designed a over-knee automatic step counter device. Then, we evaluated its efficacy on renal function and oxidative stress in patients with chronic kidney disease.

Read the detailed description

This study is a randomized controlled trial. Patients who consent to participate and pass the screening process will be randomly assigned to groups based on the order of their participation (random by sequence). Patients who join in odd-numbered order, such as 1st, 3rd, 5th, etc., will receive standard care as provided by the hospital (control group). Patients who join in even-numbered order, such as 2nd, 4th, 6th, etc., will receive a walking program. This involves continuous walking exercise for 30 minutes, once a day, three days a week, over a period of three months. During the walking sessions, patients will walk at a pace of 60 steps per minute, or one step per second.
