Intrarater and Interrater Reliability Physical Function Measures in HD BCN (ReliabilityBCN)

August 30, 2019 updated by: Eva Segura Ortí, Cardenal Herrera University

Intrarater Reliability in Different Days and Interrater Reliability of Physical Function Assessment in HD Patients

The investigators will calculate values of absolute and relative reliability for intrarater reliability when the measures are taken during a hemodialysis treatment day and during a non-dialysis day. Interrater reliability between two different observers will be also calculated

Study Overview

Status

Completed

Detailed Description

Patients suffering from End Stage Renal Disease are commonly involved in haemodialysis treatment, which is the most common treatment at this stage. Haemodialysis substitutes the renal function but is associated with several alterations that lead to decrease in functional capacity. Many studies show that functional capacity is significantly worse than their healthy sedentary age - matched counterparts. The purpose of the present study is to calculate values of absolute and relative intrarater reliability (dialysis vs non dialysis day) and interrater reliability of different physical function measures (Short Physical Performance Battery, one-leg balance, Timed Up and go, sit to stand to sit tests, triceps and handgrip strength, six-minute walking test).

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change from baseline Short Physical Performance Battery at one week
Time Frame: It will perform the test three times with one week interval between the testing sessions, one before hemodialysis, and the other one next week during a non-dialysis day
Assess lower extremity, which includes objective performance-based measure of balance (side-by-side, semitandem and tandem), endurance (4m gait speed) and strength (five chair stands). Each component was scored from 0 to 4 and when summed yielded SPPB scores between 0 (poor) and 12 (best).
It will perform the test three times with one week interval between the testing sessions, one before hemodialysis, and the other one next week during a non-dialysis day
