Outline of Final Research Achievements

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a worldwide public health problem. Renal rehabilitation (RR) is coordinated, multifaceted interventions designed to optimize a renal patient's physical, psychological, and social functioning, in addition to stabilizing, slowing, or even reversing the progression of renal deterioration, thereby reducing morbidity and mortality. RR includes five major components: such as exercise training, diet & fluid management, medication & medical surveillance, education, psychological & vocational counseling. In this study, we investigated the effects of the exercise therapy in the basic medical science and clinical medical science about the renal rehabilitation. Furthermore, we have developed the device (TE2-20) in cooperation with private companies for developing the kidney rehabilitation exercise therapy guidelines.
