This bed exercise is very good for dialysis patients, but not everyone knows it

In recent years, with the deepening of research on the rehabilitation of dialysis patients, aerobic exercise has gradually become a breakthrough in improving this situation. Among them, bed aerobic cycling has become a research hotspot because of its safety and easy operation.

1. Improve dialysis complications

Dialysis-related hypotension is one of the common and dangerous complications during dialysis, which can cause dizziness, fatigue, blood pressure drop and arrhythmia, and even endanger life. Aerobic cycling can effectively reduce the occurrence of dialysis-related hypotension by increasing the amount of blood returning to the heart from the lower limbs and stimulating the sympathetic nerves, thereby increasing cardiac output and maintaining hemodynamic stability during dialysis.

2. Improving dialysis adequacy

Dialysis adequacy refers to the ability of dialysis treatment to effectively remove excess water and toxins from the body and maintain electrolyte balance, which is associated with good quality of life and prognosis. Aerobic cycling improves dialysis adequacy by improving blood circulation, metabolite transport, and post-dialysis solute rebound, which means that kidney patients can get better treatment results in the same amount of time and better long-term results.

3. Improve sports function

Long-term dialysis often leads to muscle atrophy and decreased physical strength in kidney patients. Aerobic cycling, as a low-intensity, continuous exercise method, helps maintain and restore muscle strength and improve physical endurance. This not only makes kidney patients more comfortable in their daily lives, but also lays the foundation for participating in other rehabilitation activities.

4. Improve the quality of life

Hemodialysis patients who undergo dialysis three times a week often have an impact on their quality of life, including not only physical health, but also mental health. Aerobic cycling improves physical health by improving lactic acid metabolism, increasing muscle mass and exercise endurance. At the same time, exercise can help kidney patients vent negative emotions, and the encouragement and support from medical staff and family members can help build positive beliefs and improve mental health, significantly improving the overall quality of life of kidney patients.
