This means that they have problems carrying out daily activities because their muscles are weak. This weakness is linked to heart disease and the risk of dying. Exercise may improve health and quality of life. However, research is needed to understand what type of exercise and how much is the best for kidney patients. To do that research we need to measure physical function precisely.<\/p>\n<p>Physical function may be assessed by measuring mobility or strength directly, or using questioners, called PROMs. Direct measurement may be more precise but requires staff to do the testing. Importantly, these measurements do not tell what impact the weakness has on the patient\u2019s day-to-day activities. PROMs can provide that essential information and they are easy to complete, but little is known about how similar they are to direct measurement.<\/p>\n<p>In this study we will compare PROM scores and directly measured physical function to better understand if PROMs are precise enough.<\/p>\n<p>We will ask 75 patients waitlisted for kidney transplant and 75 kidney recipients to complete PROMs. We will also measure their physical function with simple tests, like standing up from a chair repeatedly or walking for a few minutes. We will the compare questioner scores to the direct measurement. We expect that PROM and direct measurement results will be quite similar.<\/p>\n<p>If this will be true, we can use the PROM questioners to monitor patients in exercise studies.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:30px;width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-double sep-solid\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;border-color:#e0dede;border-top-width:1px;border-bottom-width:1px;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/results-2022-cdtrp-research-innovation-grant\/\">View the results of the 2022 CDTRP Research Innovation Grant Competition.<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/cdtrp-innovation-grant-winners\/\">View past CDTRP Innovation Grants winners here.<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":18782,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,75],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18780","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general","category-featured"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18780"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18780"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18780\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24733,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18780\/revisions\/24733"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18782"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18780"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18780"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18780"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
