Abstract

Due to fatigue and muscle weakness, patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have low levels of physical activity1. The decline in physical capacity in this patient cohort is noteworthy as it is associated with deconditioning and muscle wasting, declining kidney function and an increased risk of comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease 2. Thus a downward spiral between disease, disuse and deconditioning exists leading to a reduced quality of life, increased hospitalization rates and mortality.
