Hemodialysis patients were mostly physically inactive and their functional capacity had been reduced, even though exercise could improve physical fitness, aerobic capacity, quality of life, decrease depressive symptoms and include dialysis adequacy (measured as Kt/V). A lower Kt/V value means that the patient had inadequate HD, can lead to increased hospitalization time and costs, increased morbidity and mortality and should therefore be avoided. This study aims to determine the application of intradialytic exercise to hemodialysis adequacy. The method used in this study was literature review with electronic searches on 4 online databases: Wiley Online, Sciencedirect, clinical key and EBSCOhost (Medline and CINAHL plus). The keywords used were "Intradialytic Exercise", "Intradialytic Training", "Hemodialysis Adequacy", "Urea reduction" and "Kt / V". The criteria for the articles chosen in this paper: full text, published in 2015-2020 and in English. Selected articles were assessed for quality using an evaluation table. From the search results and assessed for quality, there were 7 articles. The results showed that the application of intradialytic exercise improves hemodialysis adequacy, quality of life, physical fitness, lowers blood pressure, and had an effect on the mental of hemodialysis patients. In its application, it needs support from staff and hospital organizations so that it could be carried out optimally without neglecting other important tasks. The type of exercise most widely used was aerobic exercise. This exercise did not require special tools like other types of exercises. Easy to implement and did not cause side effects, so it is recommended as a type of exercise that can be applied. Keywords: intradialytic exercise; hemodialysis adequacy ABSTRAK Pasien hemodialisis sebagian besar tidak aktif secara fisik dan kapasitas fungsionalnya telah berkurang padahal olahraga/latihan dapat meningkatan kebugaran fisik, kapasitas aerobik, kualitas hidup, berkurangnya gejala depresi dan termasuk adekuasi dialisis (diukur sebagai Kt/V). Nilai Kt/V yang lebih rendah berarti HD yang dijalani pasien tidak memadai, dapat menyebabkan peningkatan waktu rawat inap dan biaya, peningkatan morbiditas serta mortalitas dan karena itu harus dihindari. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui penerapan latihan intradialitik terhadap adekuasi hemodialisis. Metode yang dilakukan dalam penelitian ini adalah literatur review dengan pencarian elektronik pada 4 database online yaitu: Wiley Online, Sciencedirect, clinical key dan EBSCOhost (Medline dan CINAHL plus). Kata kunci yang digunakan “Intradialytic Exercise”, “Intradialytic Training”, “Hemodialysis Adequacy”, “Urea reduction” dan “Kt/V”. Kriteria artikel yang dipilih dalam penulisan ini adalah full text, dipublikasi tahun 2015-2020 dan berbahasa Inggris. Artikel terpilih dilakukan penilaian kualitas menggunakan tabel evaluasi. Dari hasil pencarian dan penilaian kualitas didapatkan sebanyak 7 artikel. Didapatkan hasil bahwa penerapan latihan intradialitik meningkatkan adekuasi hemodialisis, kualitas hidup, kebugaran fisik, menurunkan tekanan darah, dan berefek pada mental pasien hemodialisis. Pada penerapannya perlu dukungan dari staf dan organisasi rumah sakit sehingga dapat dilaksanakan secara maksimal tanpa mengabaikan tugas penting lainnya. Jenis latihan yang paling banyak digunakan yaitu latihan aerobik. Latihan ini tidak membutuhkan alat khusus seperti jenis latihan lain. Mudah dilaksanakan dan tidak menimbulkan efek samping, sehingga direkomendasikan sebagai jenis latihan yang dapat diterapkan. Kata kunci: latihan intradialitik; adekuasi hemodialisis

Purpose: Biofeedback training (BT) was adapted to idiopathic infantile nystagmus syndrome (IINS) cases to enhance visual functions and quality of life (QoL). Methods: 10 patients (age 9 ± 3.2 years) treated with the audio-visual BT module of the MAIA microperimeter (Centervue, Padova, Italy) were assessed in two baseline visits and 1week post-BT (BT 80 min in total). The outcomes were distance and near binocular best corrected visual acuity (BBCVA), fixation stability, reading speed, contrast sensitivity, stereopsis and Children’s Visual Function Questionnaire. One-way repeated measured ANOVA and paired t-tests were used. Results: Distance BBCVA improved from 0.46 ± 0.21 and 0.43 ± 0.18 pre-BT to 0.33 ± 0.2 logMAR post-BT ( F (2,27) = 13.75, p = 0.0002). Post-BT was better than baseline ( p = 0.0001) and pre-BT ( p = 0.001). Near BBCVA improved from 0.23 ± 0.09 and 0.21 ± 0.14 pre-BT to 0.04 ± 0.08 post-BT (F (2,27) = 22.12, p = 0.000014), post-BT was better than baseline ( p = 0.0001) and pre-BT ( p = 0.0006). Stereopsis improved from 283 ± 338″ to 39 ± 32.2″ ( p = 0.04), contrast sensitivity from 0.26 ± 0.17 to 0.08 ± 0.12 log units ( p = 0.01), and reading speed improved from 74.7 ± 51.2 wpm to 104.7 ± 53.6 wpm ( p = 0.0006). Fixation stability improved from 33.6 ± 28.1 to 14.3 ± 10.1 sq. QoL increased from 23.8 ± 2.2 to 26.3 ± 2.3 units ( p = 0.001). Conclusion: BT benefited all visual functions and QoL in this pilot study, heralding a new possibility for Low Vision Rehabilitation in IINS.

Abstract Purpose Less than 10% of heart failure patients in the UK participate in cardiac rehabilitation programmes. The present pilot study evaluated feasibility, acceptability and physiological effects of a novel, personalised, home-based physical activity intervention in chronic heart failure. Methods Twenty patients (68 ± 7 years old, 20% females) with stable chronic heart failure due to reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (31 ± 8 %) participated in a single-group, pilot study assessing the feasibility and acceptability of a 12-week personalised home-based physical activity intervention aiming to increase daily number of steps by 2000 from baseline (Active-at-Home-HF). Patients completed cardiopulmonary exercise testing with non-invasive gas exchange and haemodynamic measurements and quality of life questionnaire pre- and post-intervention. Patients were supported weekly via telephone and average weekly step count data collected using pedometers. Results Forty-three patients were screened and 20 recruited into the study. Seventeen patients (85%) completed the intervention, and 15 (75%) achieved the target step count. Average step count per day increased significantly from baseline to 3 weeks by 2546 (5108 ± 3064 to 7654 ± 3849, P = 0.03, n = 17) and was maintained until week 12 (9022 ± 3942). Following completion of the intervention, no adverse events were recorded and quality of life improved by 4 points (26 ± 18 vs. 22 ± 19). Peak exercise stroke volume increased by 19% (127 ± 34 vs. 151 ± 34 m/beat, P = 0.05), while cardiac index increased by 12% (6.8 ± 1.5 vs. 7.6 ± 2.0 L/min/m2, P = 0.19). Workload and oxygen consumption at anaerobic threshold also increased by 16% (49 ± 16 vs. 59 ± 14 watts, P = 0.01) and 10% (11.5 ± 2.9 vs. 12.8 ± 2.2 ml/kg/min, P = 0.39). Conclusion The Active-at-Home-HF intervention is feasible, acceptable and effective for increasing physical activity in CHF. It may lead to improvements in quality of life, exercise tolerance and haemodynamic function. Trial Registration www.clinicaltrials.gov NCT0367727. Retrospectively registered on 17 September 2018.
