Summary

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of 18-month Baduanjin exercise on shoulder joint function in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. 60 MHD patients aged 18-75 will included in this study and randomly divided into two groups (intervention group and control group). The intervention group will be led by a professional person and underwent Baduanjin exercise three times a week before hemodialysis. The control group maintained routine treatment and daily activities.

Detailed description

The aim of this study is to observe the therapeutic effect of Baduanjin on improving shoulder joints in MHD patients. A total of 60 maintenance hemodialysis patients will be included and randomized into an intervention group of 30 cases and a control group of 30 cases. The intervention group underwent a 30 minute Baduanjin exercise under the guidance of a professional doctor before the dialysis day, including a 5-minute warm-up exercise, a 20 minute Baduanjin exercise, and a 5-minute relaxation exercise. The intervention group practice Baduanjin three days a week, while the control group maintain routine treatment and daily activities. Measure the indicators of each group at baseline, months 6, 12, and 18. The evaluation of shoulder joint function is based on the shoulder Constant score (which includes three dimensions: pain, daily living activities, and active range of motion); The quality of life score is based on the SF-12 score, and the emotional score is based on the Anxiety and Depression Scale.

Conditions

• Hemodialysis Complication
• Shoulder Joint Disorder
• CKD-MBD

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Baduanjin exercise	Baduanjin has 8 movement forms, which are relatively less demanding. Assistive equipment is also not necessary during Baduanjin. These advantages make Baduanjin a suitable form of exercise training for dialysis patients.The movements involved in Baduanjin require the individual to reach beyond the base of support, change the base of support between bilateral and unilateral stance, and perform movements in a sustained squatting posture. These maneuvers challenge balance and require muscle strength to be executed successfully. In 8 movement forms of Baduanjin all include shoulder joint function exercises, thus making Baduanjin a potentially useful method for improving activity level and arm strength.
