Brief Summary

Evaluate the effectiveness of a Whole body vibration training program on quadriceps muscle strength, functional capacity and respiratory muscle strength in adult renal transplant recipients

Detailed Description

The study will be a randomized controlled clinical trial involving adult renal transplant recipients, who will be recruited through eligibility criteria at Nephrology outpatient clinics of the Kidney Transplantation Centers of the Hospital das Clínicas of the Federal University of Pernambuco (HC-UFPE). Individuals will be randomized and assigned to one of the following groups: Platform Group, which will perform 12-week whole body vibration training or Platform SHAM Group that will receive treatment without the therapeutic effect of the platform. Afterwards, the patients will be submitted to an evaluation, a form with sociodemographic data, the clinical history of the disease and the laboratory tests will be completed, after which the pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength, quadriceps muscle strength and thickness, postural balance , Functional capacity, quality of life, risk of falls and level of physical activity.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Quadriceps muscle strength20 minutes

Will be performed the examination of the Maximum Voluntary Isometric Contraction

Functional capacity10 minutes

The 6-minute walk test will be used

Respiratory muscle strength20 minutes

Will be performed through the manocacuometry with the evaluation of the maximum respiratory pressures

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pulmonary function15 minutes

Slow and forced spirometry will be used

Thickness of the quadriceps10 minutes

This measure will be obtained through the portable Ultrasound

Postural balance20 minutes

The static and dynamic postural balance will be evaluated through the Biodex Balance System

Level of physical activity5 minutes

It will be evaluated by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire

Quality of life10 minutes

Will be applied the Medical Outcomes Study Quality of Life Questionnaire - Short-Form Health Survey

Risk of fall5 minutes

The International Fall Efficiency Scale (FES-I) will be used
