Summary

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of 18-month Baduanjin exercise on physical fitness and bone density in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. 50 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 physical fitness and bone density in MHD patients. A total of 50 MHD patients will be included and randomized into an intervention group of 25 cases and a control group of 25 cases. The intervention group undergo 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 three days a week, while the control group maintain routine treatment and daily activities. Measure the indicators of each group at baseline, months 6, 12,18. The evaluation of physical fitness is based on the scores (which include muscle strength measurement; five-times sit-to-stand test; timed "up and go" test; sitting forward flexion test; standing on one-leg with eyes closed test ). The bone mineral density test is based on the result of the double-energy DXA line. The quality of life score is based on the SF-12 score, and the emotional score is based on the anxiety and depression scale.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Baduanjin exercise	Baduanjin has 8 movement forms, which are easy to learn without special equipment.These advantages make Baduanjin a suitable exercise 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.During the exercise of Baduanjin, the knees are half bent and the body center of gravity is stable between the feet, which can effectively develop the strength and endurance of skeletal muscle groups, improving the physical fitness and Bone mineral density.
