Abstract:
Fatigue is a common, debilitating symptom that has a negative effect on the overall well being of many patients on dialysis. This quasi-experimental pilot study used a pretest, posttest design to examine the effects of exercise on perceived levels offatigue as well as any physical performance changes in lower extremity strength for patients on peritoneal dialysis. Although there were no statistically significant changes after eight weeks of exercising a minimum of three days a week, this pilot study provides valuable insight for both practice and future research.
