About this trial
Aim of the study is to investigate gender-based differences in dynamic balance in form of Timed-Up-and-Go and Five Times-sit-to-Stand-to-sit tests among hemodialysis patients. The main question it aims to answer is:
Are there gender-based differences in dynamic balance in form of Timed-Up-and-Go and Five Times-sit-to-Stand-to-sit tests among hemodialysis patients?
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age 20 to 60 years (both sexes)
Body mass index (BMI) 18.5 to 29.9 kg/m²

Trial population
The study will be conducted on 155 hemodialysis patients divided into 2 study groups; group A (62 female patients) and group B (93 male patients). Patients with age ranged from 20 to 60 years old and BMI from 18.5 to 29.9 kg/m2. All patients have been undergoing hemodialysis three times per week for at least 1 year; without secondary disorders that may affect balance assessment.
