Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effect of biomyoelectric stimulation combined with resistance exercise in sarcopenia among elderly patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) .Methods:From June 2021 to March 2022, 214 patients who underwent MHD at the Blood Purification Center of Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University were selected by convenience sampling. According to the dialysis time, patients were divided into a control group and an observation group, each with 107 cases. The control group received routine nursing, while the observation group received biomyoelectric stimulation combined with resistance exercise on the basis of the control group for a period of 12 weeks. We compared the differences in total body muscle mass, limb skeletal muscle mass, grip strength, 6-minute walking test, and body function between two groups of patients before and after intervention.Results:After intervention, the total muscle mass, limb skeletal muscle mass, grip strength, 6-minute walking test, and Short Physical Performance Battery scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, and higher than those before intervention, with statistical differences ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Biomyoelectric stimulation combined with resistance exercise can effectively improve muscle mass and function in elderly MHD patients, improve physical function, and play a certain role in the prevention and treatment of sarcopenia.
