Functional Capacity and Physical Activity Level in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease undergoing Hemodialysis

Abstract

To minimize the problems resulting from chronic kidney disease, the practice of physical activities is indicated and consequently the improvement of physical capacity. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between functional capacity and physical activity level in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis. This cross-sectional study was conducted with 24 individuals at hemodialysis clinic in the northwestern portion of the state of Rio Grande do Sul/Brazil. The outcome variables were distance traveled on the six-minute walk test (6MWT) and physical activity level determined by the average number of steps per day measured using a pedometer (objective measure) as well as the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) (subjective measure). It was shown that the distance travelled on the 6MWT was not correlated with the average number of steps per day or results of the IPAQ. In contrast, a moderate correlation was found between the two physical activity measures (pedometer and IPAQ). The patients were classified as insufficiently active and also had low functional capacity, with a mean of 53.93% of the predicted distance on the 6MWT. It is concluded that no significant correlation was found between functional capacity measured using the 6MWT and physical activity level measured using a pedometer and the IPAQ. A moderate correlation was found between the pedometer and IPAQ. The patients were insufficiently active and achieved low percentages of the predicted distance on the 6MWT.
