Study Overview
Brief Summary
Based on the available literatures, previous studies have investigated the impact of CKD and dialysis on patient's health among adult and elderly population. As far as we know, this is the first empirical study that investigates the impact of CKD on children functional capacity and their families QOL.
Detailed Description
The current study will be done to investigate the long term effect of the CKD itself on different dimensions of the child health to understand the unique characteristics of pediatric CKD. Also, it will be beneficial for designing a comprehensive physical therapy protocol for prevention of different complications and to improve their wellbeing healthcare. Additionally, it will be beneficial to determine the family and parental stresses and to build the rehabilitation plan for the child considering the possible family issues regarding the child condition.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
functional capacity
Time Frame: 6 months
6 minute walking test is commonly used to evaluate functional capacity in children with CKD. It is a simple, practical, reliable, and valid measure of submaximal exercise capacity in healthy children and children with chronic disease or neuromuscular disorders or cardiopulmonary disease
Secondary Outcomes
- quality of life of families of children with CKD(6 months)
- muscle strength(6 months)
- quality of life of children(6 months)
