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

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • incentive spirometer and walking with dog

    Other intervention

    End 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.

  • training by incentive spirometer only

    Other intervention

    End stage renal diseased adolescents (numbering twenty) will trained by incentive spirometer 30 min during the sessions of dialysis three applications weekly for 12 weeks.
