Reliability of Muscle Strength and Activation Assessment Tools and Effects of an Online Therapeutic Exercise Program in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease

Spain50 participantsStarted 2025-11-07

Plain-language summary

This research aims to evaluate the reliability and reproducibility of muscle strength and activation measurement tools, including isokinetic dynamometry and surface electromyography, in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Additionally, the study will assess the feasibility and potential benefits of an online therapeutic exercise program supervised by physiotherapists.
