Study Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of whole body vibration for 12 weeks on walking performance in elderly hemodialysis patients.

Detailed Description

This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled trial. Eligible subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to a whole-body vibration (WBV) group or controlled group. Patients in a WBV group will receive WBV training three times a week before initiation of dialysis sessions for 12 weeks. The primary outcome of the study will be the change in walking performance assessed by the timed up and go test.
