Study Overview
Brief Summary
In this study, we aim to improve respiratory function and balance of decreased muscle strength, decrease fatigue values, improve quality of life, improve inflammation findings and GFR ( Glomerular filtration rate) values in pediatric chronic kidney patients with virtual reality exercise applications.
Detailed Description
1.Group - Working group: Virtual reality technology (Nintendo Wii Fit Plus) exercise group 2.Group-Control group: home-based video games will be divided into groups that exercise.
Measurements of functional capacity, muscle strength, quality of life, depression, fatigue and physical activity levels, medical values (pulmonary function test values, inflammation level values, glomerular filtration rate level values) of both groups will be recorded before and after treatment.
In the study group treatment protocol; patients will complete 12 sessions of virtual reality exercise application-Nintendo Wii Fit Plus 30-minute training sessions with strengthening exercises for the lower extremities and upper extremities, aerobic and balance exercises. They will do 5 minutes warm-up exercises before the session and 5 minutes cool-down exercises as well as breathing exercises at the end of the session and will participate in a 50-minute treatment session in total.
In the control group treatment protocol, patients will follow the 30-minute video exercise practices for the lower and upper extremities that are similar to Nintendo Wii Fit exercises for the control group at home two days a week. exercises will complete the 50-minute training session. Apart from exercise sessions, patients will record their activities (walking, cycling, swimming…) in daily life forms with their own pedometers. Thus, changes in physical activity levels will be monitored.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Functional Capacity-6-Minute Walking Test
Time Frame: 6 Weeks
Functional capacity is assessed by 6 minute walk test at the baseline and after 6 weeks
Muscle strength
Time Frame: 6 Weeks
The strength of the lower and upper extremity muscles is measured with a digital dynamometer.
Secondary Outcomes
- Lung Parameters- Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume 1 second(6 Weeks)
- Quality of life MEASURE(6 Weeks)
- Fatigue(6 Weeks)
- Participation(6 Weeks)
