A case study on 67-year-old male diabetic with end-stage renal disease receiving dialysis. The objective was to provide physical therapy intervention to a patient receiving dialysis. The patient’s chief complaints included decreased balance, loss of sensation, fear of falling, and decreased endurance during activities of daily living due to the effects of dialysis treatment. Objective measures during evaluation validated these complaints. The patient’s goals were to improve strength, aerobic endurance, balance, and flexibility.

Abstract[edit | edit source]
A case study on 67-year-old male diabetic with end-stage renal disease receiving dialysis. The objective was to provide physical therapy intervention to a patient receiving dialysis. The patient’s chief complaints included decreased balance, loss of sensation, fear of falling, and decreased endurance during activities of daily living due to the effects of dialysis treatment. Objective measures during evaluation validated these complaints. The patient’s goals were to improve strength, aerobic endurance, balance, and flexibility. Patient education was emphasized during each treatment session. The patient progressed through physical therapy as indicated in the plan of care, with improvements in deficits found during examination. Patients receiving physical therapy during dialysis treatment may have more positive outcomes than those who elect not to participate in therapy.
