Balance differences in men and women on dialysis
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study tests whether doing light resistance exercises or aerobic exercises during your dialysis sessions can help improve your blood pressure and heart health. It may help reduce the sudden drops in blood pressure that some people experience during dialysis.
This study compares two types of exercise (aerobic vs. resistance training) done during hemodialysis sessions, and looks at how they affect a blood test related to heart disease risk.
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 study tests whether a regular exercise program can improve health and well-being for people on hemodialysis (kidney dialysis). If you join, you may get guidance on safe exercises that could help you feel stronger and more energetic.
This study tests a special bathroom scale that measures your body's fluid levels to help manage hydration during dialysis. It may help your care team adjust your treatment more precisely.
