Skeletal and Respiratory Muscle Strength, Pulmonary Function, Exercise Capacity and Physical Activity in Pediatric Chronic Kidney Disease

Sponsor: Hacettepe University

Summary

Studies examining musculoskeletal strength, respiratory function and muscle strength, physical activity level and exercise capacity in children with CKD and evaluating the relationships between these parameters have not been found both in the world and in our country. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate skeletal and respiratory muscle strength, respiratory parameters and exercise capacity in children with CKD primarily and compare them with healthy children. Secondly, it is to examine the relationship between endothelial function, arterial stiffness, sarcopenia and physical activity in children with CKD. It is thought that the results to be obtained with the study will support the literature with the prediction that rehabilitation programs for patients in all stages of CKD will be structured and in this way will contribute positively to the management and prognosis of the disease. Hypotheses H0: There is no difference between children with chronic kidney disease and healthy children in terms of skeletal and respiratory muscle strength, respiratory parameters and exercise capacity. H1: There is a difference between children with chronic kidney disease and healthy children in terms of skeletal and respiratory muscle strength, parameters and exercise capacity. H0: There is no relationship between endothelial function, arterial stiffness, sarcopenia and physical activity in children with chronic kidney disease. H1: There is a relationship between endothelial function, arterial stiffness, sarcopenia and physical activity in children with chronic kidney disease.
