Balance training for hemodialysis patients at risk of falling
Part of Injuries & trauma, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests a new treatment called Plazepod (an electrical stimulation device) compared to regular electrical stimulation to see if it helps prevent falls in people on dialysis. The study wants to find out if this treatment can improve balance and reduce the risk of falling.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a man between the ages of 40 and 50.
- You have been on dialysis for at least 6 months because your kidneys have stopped working.
- Your doctor has said you are stable enough to do physical activity or use electrical stimulation.
- You can walk on your own or with a little help.
- You are not currently in another exercise program.

This study looks at how balance differs between men and women who are on hemodialysis. It may help doctors understand why some dialysis patients have more falls and design better rehabilitation programs.
This study tests whether a special electrical stimulation treatment to the soles of the feet during dialysis can improve balance and walking in people with diabetes who have nerve damage in the feet. If it works, it may help reduce fall risk and improve mobility.
This trial tests whether NMES (a small electrical stimulation you feel on the skin) can improve balance and lower fall risk in people with stroke-related weakness. It may help you walk more steadily and safely, while the study measures balance and fall-related outcomes.
This study tests a home-based digital exercise program designed to improve balance and reduce falls in older adults. The program is done at home using a tablet or device, and may help you stay steady on your feet and avoid falls.
This trial tests if adding a non-invasive magnetic stimulation treatment to balance exercises can reduce fall risk in people with type 2 diabetes who have nerve damage in their feet and legs.
This study tests a fall-prevention program that is tailored to your specific balance and walking needs. It's for people aged 60–85 who have fallen at least once or feel unsteady, and it aims to help them reduce their risk of falling.
