What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Hand grip, joint range of motion , functional level of the upper extremity, physical activity levelsDiagnostic test

    Hand grip force with Jamar Hand Dynamometer, joint range of motion with Baseline Digital Goniometer, functional level of the upper extremity with the Shoulder-Arm and Hand Problems Questionnaire(DASH), physical activity levels with International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form(IPAQ-short form) and physical functions with Human Activity Profile (HAP) were evaluated.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Evaluation of The Upper Extremity Functional Level

    Turkish version of the Shoulder, Arm and Hand Problems Questionnaire (The DASH-T) was used to asses the functional level of the upper extremity. Turkish version of the shoulder, arm and hand problems questionnaire consists of 30 questions. The first 20 questions are to examine physical competence, and the last 10 questions question pain and related functional and environmental constraints. As the score is closer to zero, the functional level of the person is high; as the score is far from zero the functional level of the person is low .

    Measured: Evaluations were made after hemodialysis patients rested for half an hour after treatment.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Evaluation of Physical Activity Level

    To asses the level of physical activity, The Turkish version of International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form was used . In the turkish version of international physical activity questionnaire short form, physical activities were made at least 10 minutes at a time. In the last 7 days of the survey; Severe physical activity duration (min), moderate physical activity duration (min), walking and one day sitting time (min) were questioned. According to the total physical activity score, the physical activity levels of the participants were classified as low level (under 600 MET min /week), intermediate level (600-3000 MET-min /week) and high level (over 3000 MET-min / week) .

    Measured: Evaluations were made after hemodialysis patients rested for half an hour after treatment.

  2. Evaluation of Physical Function Level

    The Human Activity Profile (HAP) was used to measure the physical function level. Human activity profile is a scale consisting of 94 items developed to determine the level of physical function in healthy individuals or individuals with chronic diseases at different ages . For each of the 94 items the respondent is asked to indicate whether they are still doing the activity, stopped doing the activity or have never done the activity before. Two scores are calculated: the maximum activity score (MAS) and the adjusted activity score (AAS).

    The physical activity level of the person is in one of 3 subgroups according to the adjusted activity score: <53 points: insufficient activity level, 53-74 points: moderately active and > 74 points: active .

    Measured: Evaluations were made after hemodialysis patients rested for half an hour after treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hand grip, joint range of motion , functional level of the upper extremity, physical activity levels in people with Chronic Kidney Diseases, run by NAİME ULUG at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluation of The Upper Extremity Functional Level (time frame: Evaluations were made after hemodialysis patients rested for half an hour after treatment.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Sep 2019.
