Discussion

Randomized controlled trial assessed safety and feasibility of intradialytic exercise in CKD patients, suggesting effective incorporation of NMES.

The intradialytic exercise protocol showed no adverse events, indicating safety for patients with chronic kidney disease.
Adherence rates were notably high, with 87.5% in the intervention group, suggesting acceptability of the protocol.
Patients in the intervention group experienced an increase in post-exercise heart rate, demonstrating a physiological response to the exercise.
The study indicates feasibility for incorporating neuromuscular electrical stimulation into dialysis routines, promoting continued physical activity.

Rosa et al. (2025) studied this question.
