The Effect of Intradialytic Eye Exercise in Hemodialysis Patients
31 sierpnia 2026 zaktualizowane przez: Pardis Specialized Wellness Institute
The Effect of Intradialytic Eye Exercise on Physical Function, Balance, and Fall Risk in Hemodialysis Patients: A Randomized Pilot Trial
This pilot randomized trial will evaluate whether a structured intradialytic eye-exercise program can be delivered safely and consistently during maintenance hemodialysis and whether it shows preliminary promise for improving physical function, balance, and fall-related concern.
The study is needed because hemodialysis patients commonly experience impaired physical performance, reduced balance, and fear of falling, and these problems are associated with higher fall risk; at the same time, supervised exercise during dialysis is increasingly viewed as a practical way to reach this medically complex and often sedentary population.
Eye-movement and gaze-stability training has also shown benefit for balance- and fall-related outcomes in older adults and stroke survivors, but its feasibility and potential value during dialysis sessions remain uncertain.

Szczegółowy opis
Patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis often live with deconditioning, reduced mobility, impaired balance, and substantial fall-related concern, all of which can undermine independence and daily functioning.
Recent hemodialysis research has shown that poorer physical performance and greater fear of falling are strongly associated with fall risk, while recent reviews indicate that falls in this population are common and influenced by multiple interacting factors, including physical decline and reduced activity.
Supervised intradialytic exercise is a logical delivery model because it can be integrated into the dialysis session, monitored directly by clinical staff, and implemented with acceptable safety and adherence in appropriately screened patients.
In parallel, eye-focused training that targets oculomotor control, gaze stability, and visual-motor coordination has improved balance, gait, and fall-related confidence in other populations, including stroke survivors and older adults, suggesting a plausible mechanism for helping patients whose balance and mobility are compromised by inactivity, frailty, and treatment-related instability.
However, evidence for this approach in hemodialysis remains limited, and it is not yet known whether such a program can be delivered reliably within the practical constraints of the dialysis unit without interfering with treatment.
A pilot randomized trial is therefore warranted to determine feasibility, tolerability, and safety, to identify workflow barriers, and to estimate whether the intervention shows enough promise to justify a larger definitive efficacy trial.

Broń i interwencje
Grupa uczestników / Arm |
Interwencja / Leczenie |
|---|---|
|
Eksperymentalny: Eye exercise group
Participants will receive a structured eye exercise program designed to train oculomotor control, gaze stability, and eye-head coordination.
The program will be delivered during in-center hemodialysis sessions (intradialytic), under supervision of trained staff or study personnel.
Each session is planned for approximately 15 to 20 minutes during dialysis, 3 sessions per week for 12 weeks (36 sessions total).
|
The participants in the study group will perform the eye exercise program while seated during hemodialysis treatment.
The exercises will be administered face-to-face in the dialysis unit (not via teleconference).
Each session will last 15 to 20 minutes and will be performed during clinically stable periods of dialysis.
The program includes vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR x1 and adaptation), saccadic eye movements (rapid shifts between targets), smooth pursuit (tracking moving targets), vergence (near-far focus), and integrated head-eye coordination exercises, performed in a seated position with progressive speed and complexity to enhance gaze stability and balance.
|
|
Brak interwencji: Control group
Participants allocated to the control arm will receive standard nephrology care during dialysis and routine advice to maintain their usual daily activities.
They will not receive the structured eye-exercise program during the intervention period.
