About this trial
adolescents with chronic renal failure going on hemodialysis usually complain many problems including compromised ventilation, early fatigue, early physical intolerance, and bad life quality. incentive spirometer is highly recommended to improve these problems. also, walking program, especially walking with dog, can increase the benefits of incentive spirometer

incentive spirometer and walking with dog
Other interventionEnd stage renal diseased adolescents (numbering twenty) will trained by incentive spirometer 30 min during the sessions of dialysis three applications weekly for 12 weeks. they will additionally walked freely with a dog 30 min three times weekly (in opposite days of hemodialysis). The duration of this trial will be 12 weeks.
